Starch in Food & Pharmaceutical Industry

Starch is a natural polymer with viscous, reticulated (net-like) structures, and as such, it has long been widely applied in the food industry as a thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, and quality improver. It can effectively enhance the texture, flavor, and shelf life of sauces, baked goods, frozen foods, and confectionery products.

In addition, Zhi-Mao also provides products such as moisture-proof icing sugar and Maltodextrin, assisting customers in developing Clean Label and highly stable, long-lasting formulations.

In the pharmaceutical industry, our starch is used as an Excipient. We can adjust the physical properties of the starch excipient, such as particle size and solubility, according to the client's requirements, making them more closely align with the client's needs.

Featured starch-based solutions:

Starch thickener for sauces, soups, and gravies
Starch emulsifier for stable oil-water systems
Starch-based quality improver for baking and noodle production
Stabilizer for frozen and processed foods
Moisture-proof powdered sugar for confectionery applications
Maltodextrin for smooth texture and energy formulations
Pharmaceutical excipients for binding and disintegration

Zihmao Enterprise provides starch in pet food applications as a natural binder, thickener, and texture enhancer. Ideal for dog and cat food, treats, and wet food formulations with stable performance.

Starch for Pet Food

As a professional starch manufacturer, we understand the rigorous demands of the pet food industry regarding ingredient functionality and stability.

We offer a range of optimized starch products designed to perfectly suit both the market-dominant Extrusion process and the innovative Cold Press manufacturing method.

Core Product Features and Technical Advantages

Addressing Traditional Extrusion Process Requirements

The traditional extrusion process relies on the complete gelatinization of starch under high heat and high shear to achieve kibble expansion and molding.

Adapting to Novel Cold Press Process Requirements

The Cold Press process aims for minimal heat treatment to preserve nutrients, placing a higher demand on starch for ambient binding properties and stability.
