The cream without the cost

More taste, texture and cost certainty

Whether you’re looking for cost optimisation through ingredient replacement or pushing ahead with healthier recipes or cleaner labels – sensory appeal plays a vital role in driving category differentiation. That’s our forte and we’re here to help your dairy portfolio stand out in a crowded market. Ingredion can help you keep pace with the latest consumer-driven trends and significantly reduce product development times.

We do this using our application know-how to advise you on the unique capabilities of texture and stability solutions in the dairy sector. Our partnership approach is built around helping you find the delicious balance between cost, quality and speed to market. 

Reducing costs, maintaining texture: reduce costs by replacing expensive ingredients such as fat, protein or dairy solids in yoghurts, desserts and custards with our functional starches without compromising taste or texture.

  • HOMECRAFT CREATE® multifunctional tapioca flours are ideal enhanced creaminess in reduced fat or protein in dairy and non-dairy applications and give improved flavour and texture stability over shelf life.
  • NOVATION® INDULGE  3920 starch is a co-texturiser that helps create high-quality, low-fat foods through texture optimisation. This ingredient improves mouthfeel in reduced-fat products to create or maintain indulgent textures.
  • N-CREAMER® 221 and PURITY® 87 starches enable manufacturers to create cost-effective products by reducing protein content. These starches provide stability and creaminess to achieve the perfect textures consumers want to buy time and time again. 
  • THERMTEX® is a modified food starch derived from waxy maize. It is a white to off-white powder and is recommended for use in many canned food systems where optimum heat penetration and high final viscosity are required. This product is resistant to high temperature, low pH, and shear. It can be used in cook-in-can fruit fillings and asceptically processed canned foods.
