Features and Benefits
  • HI-SET® 377 modified starch combines the features of thin -boiling and high amylose starches and can be used as the sole gelling agent in confections.
  • A unique feature of HI-SET® 377 modified starch is the appreciably lower temperature required for proper cooking.
  • Unlike traditional high amylose/ fluidity starch blends, it can be cooked at 310°F in a typical candy formulation.
  • This trait makes it ideally suited for continuously processed jellies made with a jet cooker or tubular heat exchanger.
  • Another desirable feature is its low hot viscosity.
  • This characteristic enables the confectioner to formulate quick-setting confections without the problem of tailing.
  • The jelly candies prepared with HI-SET® 377 modified starch are clear and short textured.
  • The candies retain their appealing tender bite characteristic without sacrificing the resilience necessary for pan coating.
  • The shelf stability of jelly candies prepared with HI-SET® 377 modified starch is exceptional.

Microbiological Limits

Initial testing is done on a single composite sample against a limit of m. If result is above m, the three class sampling and acceptance below is used.

  n c m M
Total Plate Count/g 5 3 10,000 100,000
Yeast/g 5 3 200 1,000
Mold/g 5 3 200 1,000
Enterobacteriaceae 5 3 100 1,000

Where n = # of samples tested; c = maximum allowable number of results between m and M; m = upper target limit; M = maximum acceptable value.  

Note
  • * Not present at Limit of Quantification.
  • ** “Total Sugars” in this product may contribute to “Added Sugars” for nutrition labeling purposes in the final consumer product.
  • Please note that while the above information is typical of HI-SET 377, it should not be considered a specification, since the values may vary slightly between samples. All values are reported on an “as is” basis.
  • Moisture: The moisture content of all starches will vary, depending on environmental conditions during storage and manufacture. However, HI-SET 377 will generally have a moisture content of around 12%.
  • Calories: The calories reported are based on the Atwater factor of 4 for carbohydrates, calculated on an “as is” basis.
