Texture-Improving Vegetable Fiber Starch

WARCOING, BelgiumCoscura created a vegetable fiber starch called Swelite® for improving product texture, juiciness and nutritional profile. Swelite is a natural and fat-free functional ingredient composed of dietary fibers and starch that increases water-binding capacity and is stable to strong heat treatment and freeze-thaw cycles. It is extracted from yellow peas by physical process and partial separation of starch and cellular walls. Swelite is not influenced by pH and can stabilize 1/5/5 emulsions based on pork fat, poultry fat or vegetable oil. Swelite is kosher and halal certified, gluten-free, non-dairy and lactose free.
