Benefits and Features: FIRM-TEX® modified food starch has excellent water binding capacity making it ideally suited for applications in the meat industry. It can be used to partially replace skim milk powder and to reduce moisture loss in vacuum packaged meats. Using FIRM-TEX® modified food starch at two to four percent can significantly improve consistency, extended shelf life, and decrease "drip" in a wide variety of smokehouse cooked meats. This starch also imparts good viscosity and a smooth short texture in high pH soups and sauces. Its low gelatinization temperature allows it to function in dry mix products added to "hot water".
Packaging Information: FIRM-TEX ® modified food starch is packaged in multi ply Kraft paper bags with net weight of 50 lbs.
