COLD WATER SWELLING STARCHES

National Starch Food Innovation has published an eight-page brochure that showcases a line of “purpose-built” cold water swelling food starches developed for specific applications. The brochure, Three Instant Winners, describes the special properties of ULTRA-TEX® SR, TEXTRA® Plus and ULTRA-TEX 8 that meet food processors' demands for improved texture, process resistance and mouth coating. ULTRA-TEX 8 starch's smooth, glossy texture and high viscosity provide a rich, creamy quality to instant puddings, sauces, pastry fillings and Bavarian creams. It imparts a rich, creamy mouthfeel with a bland flavor profile, so a food system's flavors come through, just as the formulator intended. ULTRA-TEX 8 has good tolerance to heating and acidic conditions, with excellent textural stability in cold temperature or refrigerated storage conditions. Call for a free copy of the brochure.

AUTOMATE PAN CLEANING

The Vertical Pan Cleaning System from BMI is a valuable new process for any production line. Without interrupting the flow of pans, the Vertical Pan Cleaning system automatically moves the pan into an upright or vertical position, allowing for debris in the pan to fall into the debris catcher. For baked-on debris sticking to the pans, sensors recognize that a pan is ready to receive compressed air to force any extraneous material loose.
