Tate & Lyle launches 17 non-GMO starches

Global ingredients and solution Tate & Lyle has announced the addition of 17 new non-GMO starches.

The company has introduced these new products to expand its texturants, fibre enrichment, and sugar and calorie reduction portfolios.

Tate & Lyle texturants global platform leader Werner Barbosa said: “In the past three years, non-GMO product sales in the US have grown by 270%.

“At Tate & Lyle, we are committed to providing manufacturers with solutions which respond to consumer demands.

“Therefore, we are delighted to be able to provide our customers with a range of non-GMO options, alongside our existing starches, to help them deliver extraordinary food with great taste and texture.”

The new non-GMO starches introduced includes Rezista NG cook-up starch that can be used in making dairy products, sauces and dressings, and the X-Pand’r NG instant starch that is suitable for baking and snack manufacturers.

The Maxi-Gel cook-up starch will help manufacturers maintain moisture by creating smooth textures in yoghurts, soups, sauces and dressings.

Tate & Lyle noted that the starches are one of the key ingredients used by the manufacturers for creating sugar-free cakes that do not crumble.

Using starches to deliver the right balance of taste and texture is often a complex formulating challenge in yoghurts, soups, sauces and dressings, the company added.
