An indispensable, sustainable ingredient for many products
Did you know that starch is not only used in the kitchen for thickening sauces or bakery? It is also applied as a binder and stiffener in the textile and paper industry and animals love their feed, because it contains starch which gives a great taste and feel. Starch is a natural ingredient that helps us taking care of nature by extending shelf life and by replacing fossil fuel based products in – for instance – plastics and detergents.
Like starch manufacturers nowadays, ANDRITZ is also adjusting to the consumers‘ demand for healthier, more sustainable and natural products. The focus lies on clean label, non-GMO, vegan and gluten free. This is why new and innovative processes in starch manufacturing focus on natural starches without chemical modification. Depending on the end product A- or B starches are applied.
