CUSTARD HOT

CustH is basically composed of corn starch exposed to high pressure, to solve the main usage problems of natural corn starch.

To integrate in a recipe, it is as easy as to mix cold and cook to boiling point just like a traditional pastry cream. The method of operation does not differ in any way from that of conventional corn starch, but syneresis, interaction with acids and loss of capacity at high temperatures are corrected (thanks to the modification of the starch molecules).

CustH is ideal for cooked creams, sour creams (pH 3) or freezable and bakeable, sweet, and salty creams. Thinking savory, it allows the creation of gluten-free bechamel sauce recipes.

features

Natural thickener for all types of liquids to give a custard texture (with temperature).

Resists baking and freezing. Stable with acid products.

Presentation in powder form, neutral smell, and flavor.

Applications

Pastry creams (cold or baked), hot creams, bechamel-type sauces, sauces, and creams – salty and sweet – that can be cooked and grilled.

For optimal hydration, it should be brought to 90-130°C, and ideally cooked for 3-5 minutes.

Curiosities

In nature, starches are the energy reserve of plants. As such, a starch is a polysaccharide composed of glucose chains. Unmodified starches are called native starches.

When we modify a starch, it is to optimize its advantages or solve its problems, and there are different types of modification: physical (fermentation, heating, pre-gelatinization…) or chemical. While chemically modified starches must be specified with an E-code, physically modified starches are labelled as a native starch.
