Thin-Boiling Starches for smooth processing

Low-viscosity starch solutions for high-solids formulations, smooth texture and stable processing
AGRANA thin-boiling starches are modified starches that deliver starch functionality at a reduced hot viscosity. They allow formulators to work at higher solids levels while keeping products smooth, processable and consistent. Based on renewable corn and waxy corn starch, the range supports convenience food and pharmaceutical applications where controlled viscosity, clean processing and consistent quality matter.
Let’s solve your challenge!
Together, we'll identify the right solution for your process, formulation, and labeling needs.
Starch functionality with lower viscosity and high process flexibility
AGRANA thin-boiling starches give formulators room to work where conventional starches would turn too thick during processing. They open up high-solids recipes, support smooth textures and hold production stable — well suited to demanding food, nutrition and pharmaceutical systems. The result is starch functionality that stays easy to process and adapt to specific formulation needs.
- Reduced viscosity compared with native starches
- High-solids formulations with good processability
- Smooth texture and controlled flow behavior
- Stable performance in heat-processed systems
- Suitable for selected convenience food and pharma applications
- Based on renewable corn and waxy corn starch
- Consistent product quality and scalable production
Thin-boiling starches by application
AGRANA combines starch modification know-how, raw material expertise and application support, so customers select the right thin-boiling starch for their process. Whether the goal is a clear soup base, a confectionery system with controlled body or a pharmaceutical formulation, AGRANA supports development from first trials to stable industrial production.
Controlled texture and flow for soups, jellies and cheese applications
Thin-boiling starches suit convenience food systems that need low-viscosity processing and defined structure after cooling. In clear dry soups they act as carriers and flow agents. In jellies, gum-type confections, gelled systems and cheese applications they build texture, body and controlled gel formation.
Functions & Benefits
- Carrier and flow support for clear dry soups
- Firm gel texture for jellies and gelled systems
- Suitable for gum-type confections combined with hydrocolloids
- Texture for spreadable cheese and cheese imitations
- Low-viscosity cook-up for efficient processing
- Clear paste or short-textured gel depending on formulation

Defined starch functionality for controlled processing needs
In pharmaceutical applications, thin-boiling starches deliver modified starch functionality for systems that need predictable viscosity and clean processing. Their controlled cook-up properties suit selected formulations where starch-based structure, flow or processing performance must be precisely managed.
Functions & Benefits
- Controlled viscosity during heat processing
- Predictable processing behavior in pharma systems
- Consistent quality across production batches
- Suitable for applications needing predictable paste and texture development
