Corn, Pea & Bean Starches – Functional, Clean-Label Ingredients
Eco Agri Food supplies functional starches from corn, pea, mung bean, fava bean and rice for food, beverage and nutrition applications. These plant-based starches enhance texture, viscosity, whitening and stability while supporting clean-label formulation.
Native Corn Starch
Multi-purpose bulking and texturizing agent for canning, dry mixes, seasonings, confectionery and bakery. Supports flowability and mouthfeel in gravies and sauces.
Modified (Waxy) Corn Starch
Designed for improved resistance to heat, acid, shear, cooling and freeze–thaw. Typical uses: sauces, dressings, gravies, canned foods and dairy desserts where stable viscosity and glossy appearance are required.
Native Pea Starch
Yellow-pea derived starch with firm gel and high clarity. Performs well in vermicelli and noodle production; often combined with high-viscosity potato starch for optimal bite and elasticity.
Native Mung Bean Starch
Traditional Asian starch used for glass noodles (vermicelli). Provides translucent gels, clean taste and elastic texture in noodle systems and specialty desserts.
Native Fava Bean Starch
Non-GMO, gluten-free starch with strong water-binding and gelling. Suitable for glass noodles and applications similar to pea starch where firmness and clarity are desired.
Rice Starch
Fine-granule starch with neutral taste for whitening, smoothing and anti-tack. Common in confectionery coatings and bakery icings/fillings. Can reduce reliance on titanium dioxide as a whitening aid.
Functional Starches for Texture, Stability & Clean-Label Formulation
Our corn, pea, bean and rice starches support viscosity control, freeze–thaw stability, whitening and gluten-free product development across sauces, soups, noodles, confectionery and bakery.
