Ingredion’s new modified potato starch improves texture, affordability of processed, imitation cheeses
Ingredion Incorporated researchers and global Ingredion Idea Labs food scientists together have introduced PRECISA® 604 modified potato starch. The texturizer, first available in the United States, helps manufacturers create affordable processed and imitation cheeses that boast improved shred, melt and stretch in dairy and non-dairy applications.
PRECISA 604 modified potato starch provides manufacturers with both performance and margin improvements in formulations of block, sliced and pizza cheeses, as well as vegan alternatives. The ingredient, an extension of Ingredion’s innovative PRECISA series of starches, allows manufacturers to infuse dairy products with rich functional attributes while at the same time reducing and controlling fluctuating ingredient costs.
