Satiety from resistant starchIntroductions of new products aimed at satiety are steadily rising. A University of Minnesota clinical study comparing the effects of dietary fiber – soluble, insoluble and resistant starch – on people’s satiety response found that natural Hi-maize 260 and Novelose 330 starches from high-amylose corn enhanced feelings of fullness and satisfaction, while the soluble fiber polydextrose had limited satiating capabilities. Subjects were less hungry after eating muffins with resistant starches or corn bran and had less desire for further food intake than after eating a low-fiber muffin. Eight grams of dietary fiber from Hi-maize and Novelose resistant starches kept subjects significantly less hungry than baseline. This new research comes on the heels of recent consumer media reports calling natural resistant starch a top medical breakthrough of 2008. National Starch Food Innovation; Bridgewater, N.J.

Natural and clean labelWhether layered, crispy or crunchy, snack and bakery products can deliver the texture consumers want and expect. An unmodified, premium cold-water swelling starch, X-Pand’R SC, is suitable for snack foods touting a natural, clean label. The natural starch aids in the development of cohesive, pliable and non-sticking dough that can be processed through conventional sheeters, extruders or stamping dies without the use of excessive heat or pressure. It’s suitable for sheeted and formed snacks to balance crispiness and crunchiness, coated and extruded snacks, providing a light and crispy coating that adheres to nuts and dried fruits in baked products, and extruded snacks, providing lower process viscosity.
