PRECISA® Crisp texturizers

Bake in sensational appeal

Evolve texture and crunch in sheeted snacks

Give consumers the baked goodness they love — and feel good about — with the textures they want. Imagine crackers from soft or crispy to hard and shattering. Baked chips with a loud crunch or light crispiness. Or vegan, gluten-free crisps with uniquely appealing textures. To design the perfect texture, you need an ingredient solution tailored to your product’s specific needs. 

How can you formulate the texture consumers want in baked tortilla chips, crackers and fabricated potato chips? 

Now you can create baked snacks with the texture and the functionality you need. PRECISA® Crisp and PENPURE® 85D starches optimize texture, improve dough cohesiveness and sheetability, provide consistent expansion and reduce breakage — for manufacturing gains that can improve your bottom line. This series of cost-efficient starch texturizers, based on corn, tapioca, potato and sago starches, enables you to modify and create customized textures in sheeted snacks to align with preferred texture preferences.

The new satisfying texture of baked snacks

Whether you’re seeking to reduce breakage or cost, need to achieve the perfect crispiness in vegan, high-protein or gluten-free snacks, or want to tune your snack textures to take on the market leaders, your solution is in the bag with our snack texturizers.
