Our ingredients
NASTAR™ is a native starch extracted from yellow peas. Compared to other native starches, yellow pea starch has the highest amylose content.
A locally grown crop, without the need for irrigation, and with a limited use of pesticides, a non-GMO raw material... this is enough for yellow peas to rank top of the class! Obtained from this environmentally friendly raw material, NASTAR™ pea starch derives all of its functional benefits from its physical extraction process. NASTAR™ has higher amylose content, resulting in exceptional gelatinisation at lower temperature (68°C for pea starch vs. 70-74°C for other starches). While the viscosity of NASTAR™ remains stable on heating, it increases and reaches higher values during cooling. The high viscosity during cooling results in a firm and sliceable gel, while other native starches produce noticeably softer gels. NASTAR™ is also available as pregelatinised starch: NASTAR™ Instant which makes it possible to obtain viscosity without heating or high temperature. With their high amylose content, unique gelling and thickening properties, and neutral taste, NASTAR™ and NASTAR™ Instant can be used in a variety of applications. NASTAR™ is a native starch extracted from yellow pea that has a high amylose content, unique gelling and thickening properties while having a neutral taste. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as bakery, sauces, extruded products and savoury products. COSUCRA believes in the future of food.
