Penford Food Ingredients, a division of US-based Penford, has introduced PenNovo 00 - an enzyme-treated starch that can be used for food coatings and bakery applications.
The new enzyme-treated starch is designed for coating systems for baked or fried meats and vegetables. It can improve crispy texture and hold time, while acting as a replacement for dextrin.
Penford Food Ingredients president John Randall said that the PenNovo 00 makes the perfect crispy French fries, or gives baked goods extra moisture and gloss.
PenNovo 00 can be used as egg wash replacer, volume enhancer, and a replacement for egg whites in gluten-free products. In addition, the ingredient is non-GMO, non-allergenic and Kosher certified.
