Penford Food Ingredients is a global supplier of food starches. It supplies a broad family of dextrin and starches based on potato, tapioca, rice and corn. Penford Food has extended its portfolio of corn starches for existing and new product applications.
One of Penford’s product line extensions entails hydroxypropylated capabilities. These types of starches improve the shelf life, freeze-thaw and cold-storage stability, smooth texture, and clarity of food products such as soups, sauces, and dressings. “Penford’s broad expertise in starch technology and the commitment we’ve made to R&D means we are completely solution-driven,” notes Penford Food Ingredient President John Randall. “Our corn starch extension capabilities apply to multiple segments like coatings, protein, dairy, and for health and wellness products like gluten-free.”
