Fat Replacement
Ultra-small granules physically mimic fat droplets, delivering creamy mouthfeel at reduced fat content.
Native ultra-fine waxy starch
Amaranth waxy starch
A native waxy starch with an exceptionally small granule size, derived from Amaranthus hypochondriacus grain. Delivers creamy mouthfeel, superior freeze-thaw stability and a low-viscosity texture for food and beverage applications.

Why Amaranth waxy starch
Ultra-small granule size (1-2 μm) enables unique texture and mouthfeel, mimicking fat droplets.
Low-viscosity gel, allowing high starch loading without excessive thickening in sauces, beverages and coatings.
No syneresis after freeze-thaw cycling, setting into a firm, water-free structure ideal for frozen ready meals and sauces.
Shear-thinning and easy to pump, well suited to dressings, spreads and deposited products.
Clean label, gluten-free and bland flavour, a natural alternative to modified starches.
Target application areas
Texture Modifier
Stable paste upon gelatinisation with low risk of retrogradation; resists syneresis under refrigeration.
Clouding Agent
White suspension in cold water without prior cooking; a clean-label, oil-free clouding alternative.
