Go organic without compromising on quality 

Tap into the growing demand for organic 

Consumers are increasingly concerned with where their food and drink products are from, how they are made, and what goes into them. As the most transparent and heavily regulated food marque, organic offers consumers the reassurance they need at a time when personal health and sustainability are high on their agenda.

But creating products that have the quality and sensory experience that consumers love, with the organic label they trust, while complying with the many regulations required for organic certification, can be a challenge. Ingredion’s portfolio of organic ingredient solutions can help.

NOVATION® 9460 is Ingredion’s certified organic instant functional native starch, derived from waxy maize. It allows you to tap into the growing organic food and drinks market across a range of applications, even in cold processing conditions.

Deliver the eating experiences your consumers love, while solving processing, sensory and shelf-life challenges, with NOVATION® 9460 organic instant functional native starch.

Grow your organic offering

NOVATION® 9460 certified organic instant functional native starch is derived from waxy maize. It is made with 100% organic waxy maize, grown and processed in EU. It provides immediate viscosity in cold processing while delivering shelf-life stability and sensory benefits in a range of applications.

With NOVATION® 9460 organic starch, you can add thickening and stabilising properties in various applications such as bakery, mayonnaise, dressings and fruit fillings, without compromising texture through gelling or water syneresis over shelf-life. This organic starch provides instant viscosity, allowing you to achieve the required fill viscosity or batter rheology. Therefore, it can also act as suspension aid for solid or liquid inclusions/injections in cakes, sweet or savoury pies. Compared to traditional drum dried products, NOVATION® 9460 organic starch with its intact starch granules due to spray drying, offers improved textural properties and gloss.

NOVATION® 9460 organic starch provides identical performance to Ingredion’s NOVATION® 4600 instant functional clean label starch. That means that if you’re reformulating to meet new EU regulations on organic products, you can make a like-for-like swap to NOVATION® 9460 organic starch without changing your formulation or process.
