Overseas sauce production typically involves high-temperature sterilization, long-distance sea freight, high and low temperature storage, and freezing and thawing. Ordinary raw starch struggles to withstand these complex conditions, easily leading to problems such as separation, decreased viscosity, a pasty texture, and shelf-life deterioration. Modified starch specifically designed for sauces addresses these issues through modification, making it a cost-effective mainstream thickener and stabilizer for overseas food factories, suitable for all types of Western sauce formulations.

Nourisi® modified starch can cover all major sauce categories at home and abroad, and different formulas can be precisely matched with exclusive models. A professional technical team will provide comprehensive support.
Acidic sauces (ketchup, salad dressing, pasta sauce, yellow mustard)
These sauces are generally high in acidity, requiring high-temperature sterilization during production and long-term refrigerated storage at the point of sale. Ordinary starch decomposes rapidly when exposed to acid and heat, causing the sauce to thin and separate after a period of storage, affecting its marketability. Specialized modified starches exhibit superior acid and heat resistance, maintaining their viscosity evenly after high-temperature processing, ensuring a long-term uniform and smooth consistency. The paste is clear and clean, without the odor of raw starch, resulting in sauces with a good sheen, suitable for mainstream packaging such as bottles and cans.
High-salt compound seasoning sauces (black pepper sauce, barbecue marinade, sweet and spicy dipping sauce)
Many Western marinades and dipping sauces are high in salt and sugar. Ordinary starch tends to harden and clump after cooling, resulting in poor flavor adhesion and a tendency to drip when applied. Our modified starch has strong salt and sugar resistance, maintaining a smooth, flowing texture throughout the process. It won't clump even after refrigeration, ensuring even coating and a more balanced flavor release when poured over food.

Frozen pre-made sauces (frozen pasta sauces, frozen barbecue dipping sauces, ready-to-eat meal sauces)
Overseas demand for pre-made meals and frozen foods is high, and sauces often undergo repeated freezing and thawing. Ordinary starches release a lot of water after freezing and thawing, ruining the sauce's consistency. Freeze-thaw stabilized modified starches have a stable structure and do not separate or release water even after multiple freeze-thaw cycles. The finished product's taste is very similar to when it was first produced, significantly reducing waste and spoilage in the factory.
Liquid Light Sauces (Western-style Dressings, Light Meal Sauces)
For sauces requiring a light and fluid consistency, specially modified starch provides a slight thickening without leaving a heavy, sticky feeling. The sauce is clear and smooth, adhering well to the surface of ingredients to lock in flavor, while remaining refreshing and not greasy. It is suitable for light meals and Western-style simple meal recipes.
