What is Native Starch?

Native starch is a natural form of starch that can be found in a variety of plant sources, including corn, potato, rice, and wheat. Unlike modified starches, native starch has not undergone any chemical modifications. It consists of two main types of glucose polymers, amylose and amylopectin, and has a white or off-white color with a powdery texture. It is characterized by a white or off-white color, neutral taste, and powdery texture. Native starch is insoluble in cold water but can be dispersed in hot water and can form a gel when heated in the presence of water, the gel formation influenced by factors such as temperature, and pH level. It adds texture and structure to foods, such as baked goods, sauces, and dressings, and enhances the mouthfeel and consistency of products, such as dairy, bakery and soups. Native starch also acts as a binding agent in processed meat products, and its usage aligns with the growing consumer demand for natural and clean label ingredients. It is a natural ingredient and generally considered safe for consumption. Another benefit of native starch is its availability and cost-effectiveness compared to other types of thickeners and stabilizers.
