National Starch Food Innovation says its new starch-based solution Precisa Pulp 02 can be used in a variety of fruit-juice bases, including peach, apricot guava, pear, and mango. Highly functional as well as versatile, it offers manufacturers the opportunity to create cost-optimised beverages that appeal to consumer demand for exotic juice drinks, says the global ingredients firm.

“Exotic fruit juice flavours, such as guava, apricot and mango are very popular among consumers in the Middle East, and pear flavoured beverages hit the mark with European consumers as they have a local, home-grown appeal,” explains Mona Rademacher, European marketing, National Starch Food Innovation. “This latest development highlights National Starch Food Innovation’s commitment to creating effective and appealing beverage solutions.”
