Waxy Potato Starches – Emwaxy®

Emwaxy® starches are produced from specially cultivated high-amylopectin potatoes. These starches contain over 99% amylopectin and less than 1% amylose, in contrast to regular potato starch, which typically consists of about 80% amylopectin and 20% amylose. The potato varieties used for Emwaxy® are developed through traditional, non-GMO breeding methods. Thanks to their unique composition, Emwaxy® starches offer exceptional functional benefits and open opportunities for creating innovative, appealing food products. They support key market trends such as plant-based development, easy processing, dosage reduction, as well as non-GMO, kosher, halal, gluten-free, allergen-free and clean-label positioning. Key Characteristics in Food Applications: • Clean flavor with no off-taste • High viscosity • Excellent bake stability (e.g., bakery creams) • Glossy and appealing appearance • Fast hydration (ideal for noodles) • High water binding (especially in meat applications) • Smooth and creamy mouthfeel • High expansion and a light texture (e.g. in snack products)
