Emsland Group, the leading German potato starch producer, has released a new clean label thickener, Emfix K1. Using the natural benefits of potato starch, such as clean flavour and appearance, alongside the functionalities traditionally associated with chemically modified starches, Emfix K1 is able to be used in a broad range of applications. Emfix K1 can be used in applications such as convenience foods like soups and sauces as a binding and thickening agent. It is well suited to dry mixes and bakery creams and fillings, a traditionally common usage for potato starches. Emfix K1 can also be used in snacks and bakery as moisture regulator to extend shelf life and improve texture. Increasingly consumers are demanding products with more 'natural' ingredients and Emfix K1 meets this demand.

Sherratt Ingredients are able to offer a complete range of starches, starch derivatives and proteins from Emsland Group. These include pea and potato starches, proteins and maltodextrins. If you need further information regarding Emfix K1, or any potato or pea based ingredients please contact us.
