About Starch Powder
Each starch is extracted from its own raw material and dried to a free-flowing powder, then screened before packing. Behavior differs by botanical source: potato and tapioca starches gelatinize readily and give clear, cohesive pastes, while maize and wheat starches set firmer and are usual in bakery and dry-mix work. Modified and pregelatinized grades are processed further so they hydrate without a full cook step.
Starch is supplied as a dry powder in lined bulk sacks, with retail and private-label packing available where the buyer is repacking. Because each botanical source and each grade behaves differently in a formulation, we ask buyers to state the starch type and the intended application on enquiry so the right grade is quoted. Sample material for trial work can be arranged before a first order.

Frequently asked
Can you send full specifications and a Certificate of Analysis?
Specifications and a Certificate of Analysis are confirmed per order, against the grade and the application you are buying for. Tell us the starch type and intended use, and the documentation is issued with the quotation.
Which starch should we buy for our application?
It depends on whether you need clarity, chew, a firm set or cold hydration. Share the product you are formulating and we will suggest the botanical source and grade, then quote against it.
Do you supply modified and pregelatinized grades as well as native starch?
Yes. Native potato, maize, tapioca and wheat starches are available alongside modified and pregelatinized grades. Confirm the behavior you need in your system and we will quote the matching grade.
Can you pack under our own brand?
Yes. Bulk supply, custom packing and private-label packing are all available. Send your artwork and preferred pack format with the enquiry so it can be costed in.
