Specialty Starch
& Blend
What is Specialty Starch?
Specialty starches are modified or specially processed starches that possess enhanced functional properties tailored for specific applications in various industries. These starches are designed to meet the specific needs of food and non-food products, offering superior performance compared to regular starches.
Key Characteristics of Specialty Starch
Specialty starches can be derived from various sources such as corn, potato, tapioca, and rice. They are often chemically, physically, or enzymatically modified to achieve desired properties.
We Blend the Best for You
At Beneva we offer comprehensive starch blend solutions tailored to your product’s unique needs. Our goal is to help you develop or enhance food products with optimized texture, stability, and cost-efficiency, ensuring consistent quality and great consumer appeal.
How We Can Help
Customized Formulation
We combine tapioca-based starch with different starches (and, when needed, other functional ingredients like hydrocolloids or sweeteners) to achieve the precise texture, mouthfeel, or gel strength your product requires.
Enhanced Stability & Shelf Life
Our blends help reduce syneresis (water separation), bolster freeze-thaw stability, and maintain product integrity under diverse processing conditions.
Process & Cost Optimization
By selecting and blending just the right starches, we can lower overall usage levels, streamline your processing steps, and help reduce formulation costs.
Clean Label & Regulatory Support
Whether you need native, non-GMO, or other specific requirements, we provide solutions that align with label claims and regulatory guidelines in various markets.
Technical Collaboration
Our R&D and application specialists work closely with your team to conduct pilot trials, troubleshoot challenges, and refine formulations until you reach your target product profile.

Enhanced Functionalities
These starches are engineered to provide unique functionalities such as improved thickening, gelling, stabilization, and emulsification.
Versatility
Specialty starches are highly versatile and can be tailored for specific applications in the food, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, and adhesive industries.
What is Starch Blend?
A starch blend is a mixture of hydrocolloids, sweeteners, and other food ingredients refers to a purposeful combination of multiple starch types and potentially other functional additives. The goal is to achieve desired product attributes such as taste, mouthfeel, texture, stability, and shelf life.
The Essential Role of Specialty Starch & Blend in Problem-Solving
Specialty starches & blends are crucial for solving various challenges in food production due to their unique and enhanced functional properties. These starches, derived from sources such tapioca, and rice, are specifically designed to address issues like texture, stability, and shelf-life without relying on artificial additives, ultimately improving product performance, consumer satisfaction, and market competitiveness.
Consistent Quality
They provide superior thickening, gelling, and stabilizing capabilities, ensuring consistent quality across diverse applications, from sauces and soups to baked goods and dairy products.
Freeze-Thaw Stability
Specialty starches also offer excellent freeze-thaw stability and resistance to retrogradation, making them ideal for frozen and refrigerated foods.
Clean Label
By using specialty starches, manufacturers can create high-quality or clean label products that meet consumer demands for natural and minimally processed foods.
