Nastar™ A Sustainable Starch

A local culture, no need for irrigation, a limited use of pesticides, a non-GMO raw material… this is enough to raise the pea on the top step of the podium! Derived from this environmentally friendly raw material, NASTAR ™ pea starch derives all its functional benefits from its physical extraction process.

Nastar ™: Find Out What It Can Do!

Thanks to its higher amylose content, NASTAR ™ has exceptional gelling properties (68 ° C for pea starch against 70-74 ° C for other starches). While the viscosity of NASTAR ™ remains stable during cooking, it increases and reaches higher values ​​during cooling. The high viscosity during cooling gives a firm and sliceable gel, while other native starches give noticeably softer gels.

NASTAR ™ is also available in pregelatinized quality:

Synthesis on retrogradation is greatly reduced compared to other native starches.

It is a white powder with a neutral taste.
