new ingredient profiles your nutraceutical ingredient information source Instant solution for instant food applications Ultra-Tex Sr is a new premium waxy maize-based starch that is suitable for instant food preparations subjected to extreme processing conditions. it can withstand intense heat, acid, high shear and low pH processing conditions, and is one of three new cold-water swelling starches in the ultra series of dispersible starches created to meet the cold prepprocessing needs of food formulators. ultra series starches enable the cold-processing of foods such as mayonnaise and high quality low-fat dressings and eliminate the need for the blending of dry ingredients. ultra-tex sr has excellent cold temperature storage stability in refrigerated and frozen products, maintains high viscosity and superior texture where dressing recirculation is required, and in many cases up to 10 percent less starch can be used compared to conventional starches to achieve the same viscosity. National Starch Food Innovation; Bridgewater, N.J. 800-797-4992; www.foodinnovation.com Peptides for muscle recovery peptopro is a novel ingredient for the formulation of protein-based sports drinks. the ingredient contains 70-80 percent small di- and tripeptides, which are directly absorbed without digestion. natural food protein is too big to be absorbed by the human gut – it must first be broken down into smaller pieces. But the di- and tripeptides in peptopro can be used immediately by the body. in addition, in combination with carbohydrates (sugar) after exercise, they stimulate the production of insulin so muscle cells can use the glucose in the blood faster and better, resulting in faster muscle refueling and energy recovery.
