MODIFIED STARCHES
What are Modified Starches?
Modified starches offer the versatility that industries need when focusing on innovation. They were developed to address the limitations of native starches, such as corn starch, cassava starch, potato starch, and other tubers and roots, in terms of both thermal and chemical properties.
Modified starches improve gel, texture, and resistance properties, expanding their range of applications across various industrial segments, from food to oil.
Hydroxypropylated modified starches undergo a process that provides resistance to UHT (Ultra High Temperature) processes, freezing cycles, and extreme conditions of pressure, temperature, and pH.
Lorenz is a pioneer in manufacturing this type of starch in Brazil, being the first cassava starch industry in Latin America. With four industrial units, Lorenz has a production capacity of approximately 280,000 tons per year and specializes in offering customized solutions to meet the needs of even the most demanding customers.
