Archer Daniels Midland Co. has introduced a new line of specialty tapioca starches and tapioca maltodextrin ingredients in partnership with Vedan International.
As consumers continue to demand cleaner labels, suppliers have been driven to produce more starches that will allow confectionery products to be labeled as such. And manufacturers seeking to improve production efficiencies have also led to start innovations.
There’s been an increased interest by confectionery as well as pharmaceutical companies to produce candies that deliver specific nutraceutical benefits, be they vitamins, weight control, cold prevention, etc. So where to starches come into play?
It turns out that candy companies have all sorts of reasons for wanting to avoid gelatin — to save money, create a different texture, or be able to officially claim that their gummies are vegetarian, kosher or halal.
