Cargill Gel 04230

Cargill Gel 04230 is a native starch derived from waxy maize. It offers various functionalities, including high heat viscosity, creating a cohesive, non-gelling texture. This starch provides excellent paste clarity and is especially useful in suspending particulates during the filling of canned products.
