GemStar® wheat starches include both unmodified and modified starches made from native wheat starch. Wheat starches are also an excellent non-GMO option and are ideal in bakery applications. The unique properties of wheat starch are more compatible with the flour already in bakery formulations, creating a balanced texture and mouthfeel. Wheat starches are preferred for a wide range of foods due to the texture, neutral flavor, and bright color it imparts.

GemStar® 100 is a highly purified native (unmodified) wheat starch isolated from wheat flour by unique wet processing techniques followed by a flash-drying process. This standard native wheat starch is excellent for use in adjusting texture or viscosity and as a carrier for other ingredients. GemStar 100 has general applications in bakery products, breakfast cereals, snacks and other processed foods.
GemStar®100GF is a native wheat starch isolated from wheat flour. It is refined through a patent-pending process to ensure the gluten protein is removed, so it is guaranteed to be gluten-free per the FDA definition (21 CFR Part 101m Section 101.91). An ELISA test is used to verify that the product is less than 20 ppm gluten..
GemStar® 200 is a highly purified native (unmodified) wheat starch isolated from wheat flour by unique wet processing techniques followed by a flash-dying process. This product contains the typical distribution of large and small granules. Gem Star 200 has general applications in bakery products, breakfast cereals, snacks, noodles, and processed foods, as well as a variety of industrial products.
GemStar® 2800 is a modified wheat starch characterized by restricted granular swelling and high tolerance to extreme food processing conditions. It has a specific application in food products exposed to low pH, high shear, or elevated temperature during processing where the swollen starch maintains in granular integrity. Primary applications in cake doughnuts, snack cakes, and a variety of bakery products.
GemStar® 3300 is a modified, cook-up wheat starch ideal for sauces and gravies. Once cooked the starch will form a highly viscous paste that then breaks down at high heat. These properties make GemStar 3300 highly functional in processing retorted sauces and gravies.
GemStar® 4100 is a mildly oxidized wheat starch characterized by low viscosity and improved binding properties. These properties make GemStar 4100 highly functional in coated food applications where adhesion is highly desired. When used in battered and breaded products GemStar 4100 will help the coating maintain its integrity throughout shelf life.
GemStar® 4200 is a modified wheat starch characterized by moderate viscosity and improved binding properties. It is highly functional in coated food applications where adhesion and crispy textures are highly desired as it provides excellent crispness.
Gem Star® 4500 is a modified wheat starch characterized by low viscosity and high adhesion properties, and can be readily dispersible in cold water. It is specifically designed for batter and breading applications. When frying, GemStar 4500 will improve color and flavor, and maintain a uniform appearance.
