Avebe Brings Clean Label Potato Starch to Cold Processing for Plant-Based Meat

Royal Avebe has launched PuraMYL® 440, a clean label potato starch designed for cold processing in plant-based meat and sauces. This innovative ingredient thickens immediately upon mixing, eliminating the need for pre-cooking or separate hydration, which simplifies production and may reduce energy consumption. The starch is labeled simply as potato starch due to its thermal modification process, which involves no chemical treatments and complies with EU allergen regulations.

PuraMYL 440 enhances texture and viscosity in various applications, including plant-based meatballs and cold emulsified sauces, providing a cohesive and smooth result without cooking. Avebe emphasizes that simplifying ingredient lists should not come at the expense of performance, enabling manufacturers to create reliable and high-quality products with less complexity. The new starch expands the PuraMYL range, aiming to meet industry demands for clean-label ingredients in a growing market for plant-based foods.
