This product line includes thickening and gelling starches; all of the products in the line offer good mouth clearing properties in soups, sauces, dressings, fillings, and dairy products when optimally used.
CLARIA® Instant Functional Clean Label Starches
Our CLARIA® Instant Starch range are non-GMO, functional clean label starches that build viscosity without cooking. These starches offer a clean taste and neutral colour profile. CLARIA® Instant Starch shows process tolerance that is suitable for various temperatures, acidity, shear and harsh processing conditions. CLARIA® Instant Starch is ideal for applications such as salad dressings, instant gravies and soups, and pastry fillings and creams.
CLARIA® Instant Starch provides immediate viscosity in high-solids systems, such as fruit fillings, and can be used to build viscosity in cold-processed applications such as salad dressings. These starches display similar sensory attributes to traditional modified food starch and offer excellent bake stability.
The modest process tolerance of CLARIA® Bliss 560 Functional Clean-Label Starch makes it best suited for mildly challenging processing treatments such as those used in food systems with neutral pH and high temperature processing or low pH with mild heat treatment processing, such as at-home preparations, foodservice items, in-store prepared products, or ready meals.
CLARIA® Bliss 560 Clean-Label Functional Starch can typically be used at up to 4-5% in preparations such as dry soup mixes, or applications that have short shelf-life requirements.
The process tolerance of CLARIA® Bliss 570 Functional Clean-Label Starch makes it best suited for use in applications that require moderate process tolerance. Examples include systems with mild acidity, such as acid sauces or dressings which require moderate processing conditions, including high shear mixers, retort, and high temperature/short time (HTST) or longer heat times.
CLARIA® Bliss 570 Functional Clean-Label Starch can be used at up to 4-5% in applications that have short shelf-life requirements such as food service items or in-store prepared products.
The high process tolerance of CLARIA® Bliss 580 Functional Clean-Label Starch makes it best suited for extremely challenging processing treatments such as ultra-high temperature processed (UHT) of crème desserts and/or high pressure homogenisation of yoghurt. Typical use level for CLARIA® Bliss 580 Functional Clean-Label Starch in the white mass of yogurt is 1- 2%. The acid resistance of CLARIA® Bliss 580 Functional Clean-Label Starch also makes it suitable for use in other acidic, heat processed food products.
The high process tolerance of CLARIA® Elite Functional Clean-Label Starch makes it best suited for extremely challenging processing treatments such as ultra-high temperature processed (UHT) of crème desserts and/or high pressure homogenisation of yoghurt. Typical use level for CLARIA® Elite Functional Clean-Label Starch in the white mass of yogurt is 1- 2%.
The modest process tolerance of CLARIA® Essential Functional Clean-Label Starch makes it best suited for mildly challenging processing treatments such as those used in food systems with neutral pH and high temperature processing or low pH with mild heat treatment processing, including at-home preparations, foodservice items, in-store prepared products, or ready meals.

CLARIA® Plus Elite Functional Clean-Label Starch can be used at up to 4-5% in applications that have short shelf-life requirements.
Among the outstanding characteristics of CLARIA® TOP-GEL starch is its ability to thicken and set to a gel quickly using room temperature water. The gel strength of the starch exceeds that of other instant maize starches. Gels made with this starch, unlike most gelling agents, will resist flow when exposed to high heat. They are heat stable, retaining form and firmness, even when held at oven temperatures.
This starch can be used conventionally as an “instant” starch in applications to form gels at room temperature. It can be used in high moisture desserts to allow removal from moulds within short time frames. In cold batters, it suspends fruit pieces, nuts and fillings before and during baking. Cookie doughs exhibit improves machinability during processing and the starch controls spread and symmetry during baking. For bakery fillings, the starch provides a resistance to flow and reduces boil out during baking. In low moisture confections, this starch provides extrusion consistency and delivers gelled texture without high temperature cooking. It can also be used in low moisture ready-to-serve icings; it reacts with fructose sweeteners to form the finished set in the frosting. It is also suitable for microwave preparations where it can be used at reduced levels as a thickener to suspend flavours, colours, spices and other dry ingredients.
CLARIA® Functional Clean Label Starch has a clean taste and colour, making it versatile across a range of applications.
CLARIA® can help manufacturers deliver clean label claims in fillings for baked goods and puddings.
