Vestkorn A/S FABA STARCH CONCENTRATE FOOD is a faba flour with a starch concentrate with up to 65% starch. It also contains up to 20% protein and can thereby improve the nutritional composition by adding protein in a natural way. This is highly relevant and convenient for vegan ready meals. The ingredient is rich in slowly digestible starch and resistant starch. It is a good binder and viscosity enhancer in the development of lower glycemic index foods. Vestkorn Fabaflour has excellent functionality as a starch replacer in retorted sauces and ready meals providing an enhanced level of protein and fiber versus starches. It also contributes to an appealing “home-made” pulpy texture in tomato-based and vegetable-based products, like Bolognese and chilly con carne. The ingredient even creates an attractive appearance in low solid sauces and ready meals that meets a significant cost-saving target.
