The Pure-Cote® family of specialty food starches, developed by Grain Processing Corporation (Muscatine, Iowa), includes B792 and B790, specifically modified to be primary and secondary film-formers for coatings that are water-soluble and clear, and that provide good sheen. These properties are optimal in foods such as fried vegetables, meats and fish, extruded cereals, bakery glazes and more. The company offers a full line of corn-based starches for a variety of uses.

In batter and breading applications, the modified starches allow coatings to better adhere to the surface, resulting in a crispier, less oily product. Additionally, the ingredients contribute toward freeze-thaw stability, permitting the product to better withstand the distribution cycle.
