Birkamidon Rohstoffhandels Pea protein is characterized by its favorable amino acid profile and is, unlike other proteins, exceptionally low in allergens. As the use of pea protein does not require allergen labeling it is often used as an alternative to other products. Pea protein is used as a source of protein in vegetarian and vegan foods, in sport and fitness products and in food supplements.

Modified wheat starch is a chemically or physically modified wheat starch which is produced to better meet the requirements of the food processing industry. The modifications improve the properties of wheat starch in the production process. Modified wheat starch has better stability and improved binding capacity when exposed to heat, acid and shear forces during the production process.

Fat filled milk powder is a mixture of skimmed milk powder and plant-based fats that is used instead of whole milk powder. Fat filled milk powder is available with a range of fat and protein contents and can therefore be ideally adjusted to the end product to be manufactured. Fat filled milk powder is an economical alternative to all products produced with whole milk powder.

Corn gluten is a byproduct of the production of corn starch. Corn gluten is added to compound feed for all types of animals.

Wheat starch is primarily used in the production of baked goods thanks to its excellent properties. Wheat starch is also available in gluten-free form for the production of gluten-free baked goods.

Dried corn starch is produced with varying moisture content, such as 3.5% and 7.5%. As with native corn starch with a normal moisture content, dried corn starch can be used as a binder or thickener in a range of products. Dried corn starch is particularly suitable for products such as sauces and soups in powdered form, cake mixes or pasta where a low moisture content is naturally required.

Birkamidon Rohstoffhandels Potato granules, unlike potato flakes, have a higher density and are less able to absorb water. Unlike potato flakes, potato granules are soluble in hot water. Products produced with potato granules are characterized by their firmer consistency when prepared. Potato granules are above all a base for snack products, frozen products and baked goods.

Modified corn starch is available with a range of modifications and for various applications, such as improving water binding capacity, freezing and thawing stability, texture or shelf life. The technical and functional properties of almost every product can be improved with the use of modified corn starch.

Birkamidon Rohstoffhandels Modified Tapioca Starch can be used in various modifications for a wide range of applications and production processes. Modifications optimize the product properties in terms of the production process and improve the properties of the end product. Modified tapioca starch can be used in virtually all areas of food production.

Potato protein is a byproduct of the production of potato starch. It is a very high quality protein that is easy to digest and has a very good composition of amino acids. Potato protein is a valued ingredient used to enrich animal feed with protein. Potato protein is especially used in the production of animal feeds for pigs and chickens.

Birkamidon Rohstoffhandels Milk Powder has a milk fat content of at least 26% by weight and is produced from pasteurized whole milk. Whole milk powder is particularly used in the production of various dairy products such as yogurt or cheese.
