Broad range of starches especially designed for demanding food applications
Modified cook-up starches are specially processed to outperform native starches in demanding food applications. Through physical or chemical modifications, they deliver superior thickening power, viscosity, and texture control that remain stable even under high temperatures or extended cooking. These starches are ideal for maintaining consistency and quality in products exposed to intense heat or long processing times.
Based on waxy corn, our AGENAJEL® cook-up range covers a broad spectrum of functional profiles and application areas in Food & Beverages.
The portfolio is structured to support dairy, bakery, beverages, savory and convenience applications.
Key benefits
- Controlled viscosity build-up during cooking
- Stability in UHT and pasteurization processes
- Improved freeze-thaw stability
- Defined texture profiles from creamy to sliceable
- Reliable performance in acidic or high-shear systems
AGENAJEL cook-up grades build controlled viscosity during cooking and hold it through pasteurization, UHT and reheating. They give sauces a smooth, glossy body that stays stable under heat and shear, without covering up the savory taste.
In ketchups, dressings and mayonnaise-style products, AGENAJEL grades keep texture stable in acidic, high-shear systems. They deliver defined body from pourable to spoonable, support shelf-life stability and let the flavor of the recipe come through.
AGENAJEL grades set the texture of fruit preparations for yogurt, desserts and bakery, from creamy to sliceable, and hold it through pasteurization and freeze-thaw cycles. Fruit pieces stay evenly distributed and the fruit taste remains clean and vibrant.
Product range
Technological
Modified cook-up starches are selected based on target viscosity, shear resistance, pH conditions and required shelf-life stability. The choice of substitution type (e.g. acetylated distarch adipate – E1422, hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate – E1442, distarch phosphate – E1412) determines resistance to heat, acid and mechanical stress.
Our application teams support formulation trials and process optimization to ensure alignment between starch functionality and real production parameters.
