Creamy yet clean-label, cost-effective starch

Ingredion's new functional native starch - Indulge 1720 - is a clean-label co-texturiser designed to enable dairy manufacturers to deliver thick and creamy - yet cost-effective - indulgent yogurt products.

The product replaces protein to lower overall ingredient costs, while delivering premium yogurt products in line with clean-label trends. Labelled simply as a 'starch' in the EU, Novation Indulge 1720 can also substitute gelatine in formulations. Ingredion says the product's "excellent process tolerance" makes it easy to use and it has high efficiency at low usage levels.

Mona Rademacher, dairy marketing manager at Ingredion Germany, says: "Greek-style yogurt is a huge trend in Europe, Middle East and Africa right now, with the number of product launches growing by 921% in the last five years. Consumers want additive-free yogurt products that still deliver a satisfying thick and creamy texture. With Novation Indulge 1720, dairy firms can now formulate yogurts that offer a clean-label, without compromising on that all-important indulgent texture. It also offers cost benefits, enabling the creation of a premium product at an affordable price to the consumer."
