Pregelatinized corn starches for immediate texture

QUEMLITE is a family of pregelatinized, clean-label corn starches designed to provide immediate viscosity, rounded mouthfeel and dependable stability without chemical modification or extended heating. It enables cold-fill processing, supports fat-reduced systems and fits transparent labelling needs across Food & Beverages.  

Key benefits

  • Instant cold-water viscosity development for sauces and dressings, enabling cold-fill processing and faster line speeds.
  • Recreates creaminess in reduced-fat products by improving mouthfeel and emulsion stability at lower oil levels.
  • Instant hydration with predictable swelling and water-binding, reducing syneresis in refrigerated and frozen systems.
  • Pregelatinized format disperses under shear, allowing high-throughput mixing and consistent texture across batches.
  • Neutral flavor and low colorp impact preserve sensory profile, suitable for dairy, bakery and infant nutrition.

Benefits & value

Performance and commercial value

QUEMLITE combines instant cold-process thickening with a clean-label profile, helping manufacturers reduce processing time and energy while preserving texture and stability. It supports fat-reduction strategies by recreating the mouthfeel of higher-fat formulations, improves emulsion and shelf stability in refrigerated products, and is available in organic grades to meet traceability and certification requirements. For technical development AGRANA provides formulation support and application trials to validate performance in specific production conditions.
