Pregel by Onuva - Instant Clear Jel 2.75 lb - Cold Water Soluble Thickener

Onuva's Pregel food starch is widely used as a thickening, texturing, and stabilizing agent in a variety of food product industries, including cream fillings, canned goods, sauces, soup mixes, gravies, tomato ketchup, pasty creams, and dairy desserts. The pre-gelatinization process endows these starches with the ability to form cold gels, which is a valuable characteristic for both native and modified starches. As a result, these starches can provide products with the desired viscosity without the need for cooking or exposure to high temperatures. This means that food manufacturers can avoid the step of precooking the starch, simplifying the production process.

Pregel maize starch is a cold water-soluble starch with moderate solubility. It exhibits several desirable characteristics, such as solubility in cold water, strong water absorption, and high viscosity. These properties make Pregel starch a versatile food additive, commonly used as a thickener and gelling agent in a range of food products, including puddings, pie fillings, gelatins, and cheesecake. The starch is derived from either corn or potato using a chemical process that causes the starch granules to swell and burst.

Pregel starch is a processed carbohydrate that functions as a texturizer and/or binder in food products. It is typically derived from sources such as corn, waxy corn, potato, or tapioca, and it has no relation to gelatin. This makes it a suitable option for vegetarians and vegans.

The characteristics of pregelatinized starch have been extensively studied, focusing on physical, chemical, and functional properties. The physical characteristics examined include bulk density, tapped density, cold water solubility, whiteness, and birefringence.

One of the key advantages of Pregel starch is its ability to thicken foods instantly without the need for cooking. Pregel Clear Jel Instant Powder, in particular, is renowned for its heat and acid resistance properties, making it the top choice for instantly thickening a wide range of food products without the requirement of heating or cooking.
