Starch: A versatile raw material for perfect food products

For decades, starch has been an undisputed all-rounder in the food industry. In its traditional form, it’s ideal for thickening sauces, baking cakes, or enhancing fruit preparations and confectionery. This raw material—derived from corn, wheat, potatoes, and more—also serves as the foundation for numerous derivatives such as starch-based sugars. These are prized for their unique properties and are widely used in infant nutrition, sports supplements, baked goods, beverages, and convenience products—for greater volume, improved consistency, extended shelf life, and reduced crystallization.

To ensure that starch, its derivatives, or proteins deliver their full effect, a variety of precise processing steps are required. Zeppelin Systems makes sure that every single stage—from storage and transport to dosing and preparation—contributes to a perfect and profitable end product.

Optimally equipped with Zeppelin

Mastering the challenges of processing starch and starch derivatives

Processing high-quality starch and starch derivatives requires optimal storage conditions to prevent clumping, moisture issues, or pest infestation.

Different properties of starch types

The different types of starch—such as corn, wheat, or potato starch—have specific physical and chemical properties. These differences require precise adaptation of processing technologies.

Consider the sensitivity of starch

Starch is thermally and chemically sensitive, which places special demands on processing. This makes careful control of the processes essential.

Sustainable waste management

Waste and by-products from starch processing must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner or further utilized. Sustainable solutions are crucial to meet ecological standards.

Efficiency and innovation for competitiveness

Fluctuating raw material prices require efficient processes, innovative approaches, and sustainable strategies. This is the only way to produce competitive products.
