National Starch expands reach of fruit pulp replacer
National Starch is looking to expand the reach of its starch-based pulp replacer Precisa Pulp 02 to a wider variety of exotic fruit juice drinks.
Originally launched last year for mango juice drinks, Precisa Pulp 02 is now being targeted at other fruit juice bases.
National Starch said the ingredient is suitable for juice flavours like guava, apricot and mango, which are popular in the Middle East, and pear flavoured drinks, which are becoming increasingly popular in Europe.
The company claims that Precisa Pulp 02 adds pulpiness to these juice drinks without upsetting flavour or texture.
