Summary and Recommendations
NOVATION functional native starches are an effective and easy-to-use
ingredient option in developing clean label formulations
Many additional ingredient options are available today to develop clean
label or all-natural formulations
Food formulating know-how as well as the ability to evaluate texture,
flavor and stability are important tools to ensure success
In-depth understanding of the mechanisms of instability and the function
of formulation options can provide valuable insight and success
