Unmodified Starches & Glucose
Sweet as Can Be
The importance of unmodified starches and glucose in the food industry simply cannot be debated, and over the years we have gone the distance to source only the finest quality ingredients. Our maize-based unmodified starches are used as thickeners and stabilisers in the manufacturing process, whereas our glucose range acts as a carrier. While most people assume that glucose is a sweetener, it can either add a sweetened or bland taste to your product, depending on your preferences. Browse our starches and glucose below, and feel free to contact us for samples, quotes, lead times and MOQ’s – available on request.
Food For Thought
Glucose is made by plants – and the process, as you may have learned in biology class, is called photosynthesis. But did you know that glucose can also be produced by animals? This simple ingredient is found in animal liver and kidneys.
