The CLARIA® Functional Clean-Label Starch product line delivers on both taste and performance. These products perform well over a range of processes, offer clean taste, are white in colour, and label simply as starch.
Our innovative clean-label starch will soon be even more sustainable.
CLARIA® G is a non-GM, European produced evolution of our CLARIA® Functional Clean-label Starch range, with a sustainability advantage. With the same functionality, labelling and process tolerance benefits of the original versions of CLARIA® Functional Clean-label starch, CLARIA® G uses a new production process that reduces its carbon footprint by 34% and water use by 35%1, offering yet another point of differentiation to your products.
To be launched in early 2025, the initial CLARIA® G range will include three key products of the CLARIA® range - Essential, Plus and Elite. The remaining products in the CLARIA® range will later also be transitioned to this new, more sustainable production process.

CLARIA® Essential, Plus and Elite
A starch solution for every process tolerance requirement. Our range of non-GMO corn starches that thicken well when cooked under a range of food processing conditions and delivers a clean taste and white colour.
CLARIA EVERLAST®
Solve your most extreme processing challenges with CLARIA EVERLAST®, a range with three non-GMO starches designed for superior refrigerated and freeze-thaw stability in moderate, high and ultra-high process tolerance conditions. Suitable for use in bakery fillings, salad dressings, snacks, yoghurts, fruit preparation, sauces and soups and more.
CLARIA® Instant
This is our range of non-GMO, functional clean-label starch that builds viscosity without cooking. Try it when you need the convenience of an instant starch in formulations with high solid content and foods processed under low shear conditions. CLARIA® instant Starch shows process tolerance that is suitable for various temperatures, acidity, shear and harsh processing conditions. It is ideal for applications such as salad dressings, instant gravies or soups, and pastry fillings and creams.
CLARIA® Bliss
CLARIA® Bliss are functional clean label tapioca-based starches that deliver a whiter colour and a cleaner flavour than other functional clean-label tapioca starches. These starches provide high performance similar to a modified tapioca starch, while being versatile across a wide variety of applications and sophisticated processes. CLARIA® Bliss thickens and sets to form a soft, translucent gel that is especially desirable in dairy desserts, sauces, confectionery and processed cheese. CLARIA® Bliss is non-GMO, gluten-free and labels as 'tapioca starch' enabling clean-label claims on a variety of applications including dairy desserts, clear sauces, chilled ready meals or filling of fresh baked goods.
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® Essential 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® Plus 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® 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.
CLARIA® Functional Clean Label Starch can be used to produce creamy, clean-label yoghurts, with the added benefit of clean labelling. Waxy corn-based CLARIA® starches thicken, providing a pudding-like texture in yoghurts. Tapioca-based CLARIA® Bliss thickens and sets to a soft gel, ideal for use in dairy applications that require a clean or delicate taste
