Tapioca Maltodextrin

TapiOK® organic tapioca syrups are colorless, neutral-flavored syrups that add sweetness and functionality in a variety of applications from cookies to ice cream to beverages and beyond. Ciranda supplies tapioca syrups with a range of sugar profiles in a dextrose equivalent (DE) range of DE 27 to 95. Lower DE tapioca syrups are typically more viscous and less sweet, while higher DE syrups are less viscous, but often sweeter. Many manufacturers find success combining multiple DE's to achieve the desired balance of sweetness and texture. As the first supplier to introduce organic tapioca syrup commercially to the North American market, Ciranda has decades of experience helping manufacturers formulate with a variety of syrups from different plant sources. Compared to syrups from grains, tapioca syrups are beloved for their exceptional film-forming and low-tack properties, which is beneficial in granola bars and confections to prevent the product from adhering to the packaging. Organic and non-GMO tapioca syrups can often be substituted at a one-to-one ratio for corn syrup at the same or similar DE. Unlike syrups from corn, genetically modified tapioca currently does not currently exist commercially. Conventional non-GMO tapioca syrups are available in the same DE levels.

Organic dextrose is widely used across the food, beverage, nutritional, and personal care industries. Dextrose functions as a moisturizing and browning agent in baked goods, provides an immediate energy source in sports nutrition products, and is a common flavor carrier in dry seasoning blends and beverage mixes. It is useful for freeze point depression in frozen desserts and as a fermentation agent in alcoholic beverages. Ciranda's TapiOK® organic tapioca dextrose is a premium dextrose with a unique and patented spherical shape, producing a dextrose with superior flowability, solubility, compressibility and reduced dusting. It is an excellent performer for mints and tablets in the supplement and confectionery industries, producing a slight cooling effect. In the personal care industry you'll find dextrose in lotions and face creams where it acts as an aroma carrier and humectant for moisturizing. The pet industry uses dextrose as an energy source, and to improve aroma and palatability in wet and dry pet food and treats.

Organic rice maltodextrin is produced from organic and non-GMO rice starch using enzymes. It functions as a bulking, carrying and texturizing agent, and is a suitable replacement for corn maltodextrin. Rice maltodextrin is commonly used in dry spice mixes, seasonings and marinades; as well as in instant products like oatmeal and coffee creamers. As a fast-digesting carbohydrate, it is useful in sports and nutritional powders. Maltodextrin is highly absorbent and converts liquid oils, sweeteners and fruit juices into powdered food ingredients during the spray drying process. With excellent thickening and fat mimicking properties, maltodextrin can create dairy and dairy alternative products with a creamier and more luxurious mouthfeel.

Organic agave inulin is a prebiotic dietary fiber that is extracted from the agave tequilana plant — a plant which naturally contains a high concentration of inulin fructans. It is an odorless, clean tasting, white powder that is highly soluble in liquid. Inulin from agave adds fiber and carbohydrates to cookies, powdered beverage mixes and pet food, while also providing numerous functional benefits. Agave inulin has natural water-absorption properties. It acts as a fat mimetic to improve the texture and mouthfeel in reduced sugar or reduced fat applications like ice cream or yogurt. It can partially replace flour or starch in baked goods, and partially replace sugar in confections. Try organic agave inulin in baking mixes, meal replacement shakes, sweet spreads, powdered creamers and non-dairy milk alternatives.
