Features and Benefits
  • INSTANT CLEARJEL® modified starch will begin to swell or thicken as soon as it is added to water, milk or juices.
  • It will impart a smooth, short texture when fully hydrated.
  • The viscosity will increase slightly upon heating.
  • It has excellent heat and acid resistance and can be used in acid containing foods and in those applications where heating is required.
  • INSTANT CLEARJEL® modified starch also has good cold temperature storage stability making it particularly well suited for refrigerated and frozen foods.
  • It is recommended that INSTANT CLEARJEL® modified starch be thoroughly blended with sugar or other dry ingredients before it is added to liquids in order to prevent lumping and to insure smoothness.
  • The presence of sugar acts to control the rate of the hydration of the starch.
