MIRA-GEL® Starch

MIRA-GEL® Instant Starch adds quick-thickening and gel setting benefits to your formulations.

MIRA-GEL® Starch is a cold-water-swelling, granular starch that differs significantly from the traditional pregelatinised starches commonly used in “instant mix” food products. This unique starch hydrates in water at ambient temperatures, first forming a thick, smooth consistency and setting to a resilient, colloidal gel structure.

Its flexibility allows it to be used in baked goods, cereals, and snacks to improve dough work-ability, water retention and viscosity. At the same time, it can be used as an alternative to high-amylose starch in your confectionery, offering better clarity and gelatin-like functionality, and lower costs too.
