The invention relates to a gelling agent for production of a reversible gel. The gelling agent is a degraded root or tuber starch comprising at least 95 wt. % of amylopectin, based on dry substance of the starch. The gelling agent according to the invention is particularly suitable for use in food products.

Reversible gel formation

The invention relates to starch used in the food-industry. The invention provides modified starch, and derivatives derived thereof, having improved salt-stability (salt-stable starch), use of such modified starch or derivatives derived from said starch in foodstuff, a method for providing salt-stability to foodstuff comprising use of such modified starch or derivatives derived from said starch and foodstuff comprising said modified starch or derivatives derived from said starch.

Salt-stable modified starch

The invention relates to hydrocoloids that are used as thickening, binding, gelling or stabilising agents used in the food industry. The invention provides a starch composition, comprising a first fraction comprising cross-linked starch and at least a second fraction comprising copolymerised starch. Said composition is suitable for example to serve as gelatine replacement in foodstuff of varied nature, and is preferably suitable for use in foodstuff such as confectionery.
