FORMULATION
Starches
While starch supply has evened out, the past three years have
taught formulators a lot about replacing these critical ingredients.

During the past few years, supply chain challenges have
impacted many streams of vital ingredients, and starches
have not been immune. That left bakers turning to ingredient
suppliers for advice on how to either replace
their go-to starch ingredients or remove them altogether,
which is no small feat for such functional ingredients.
" In recent times, major world events, including the
pandemic and conflict in Ukraine, have affected transportation
and availability of commodities, ingredients
and processing aids used in modified starches, but we are
seeing a return to normal supply conditions, " said Julia
DesRochers, PhD, senior principal scientist, Tate & Lyle.
With starch supply more reliable, it's imperative not
to forget the lessons learned during such a tumultuous
time. Not all starches are created equal, but there are a
lot of them to choose from based on what functionality
a baker requires for their finished product. That's why
whether choosing a starch ingredient for a new formulation,
replacing a starch or optimizing its functionality,
bakers need to do their homework.
" Starch is a highly functional ingredient, " said Tanya
Jeradechachai, vice president of research and development,
MGP Ingredients. " Wheat, potato, tapioca, corn
and rice, all these starches perform differently in food
systems, and modification makes them even more complicated.
Even how we name these ingredients isn't necessarily
explanatory, so it can be difficult for bakers to
find the right match. "
Despite their technicalities and the wide variety of
starches at bakers' disposal, these ingredients are extremely
functional and can provide a lot of improvement
in the mixing bowl and the finished product's texture
and shelf life. But with such far-reaching applications,
understanding starches requires a lot of considerations
regarding process and formulation.
Switching starch ingredients - whether due to price
increases, a desire to clean up the label or supply chain
issues - can come with its own issues of trying to maintain
functionality or finished product characteristics.
" Work with your ingredient supplier to understand
possible options, " said Shiva Elayedath, principal technical
account manager for starch, Cargill. " As a first step,
it's important to identify exactly what functional roles
the starch performs in your product, and if you change
it, understand the compromise that will likely result. "
The starting line
When choosing any starch ingredient, the main two priorities
are functionality and labeling. These two factors
will narrow the field considerably. Starches provide a
