Product Specification
Extracted from the rhizomes of Maranta arundinacea, our Arrowroot Starch is a superior, gluten-free thickening agent known for its exceptional digestibility. Unlike common corn or tapioca starch, it produces a perfectly clear, flavorless gel that remains stable even in acidic ingredients. It is the gold standard for clean-label food formulation, high-end culinary arts, and talc-free personal care products.

Key Functions
1. Superior Digestibility: Recognized as the most easily digested starch, making it a safe and gentle carbohydrate source for infants, the elderly, and those with sensitive digestive systems.
2. Exceptional Clarity & Gloss: Produces a crystal-clear, high-gloss finish in glazes and sauces, enhancing the visual appeal of premium food products without adding any flavor.
3. Acidic Stability: Unlike cornstarch, arrowroot maintains its thickening power even when combined with acidic ingredients like fruit juices or vinegar.
4. Low-Temperature Gelatinization: Thickens at lower temperatures than other starches, protecting delicate heat-sensitive nutrients during processing.

Professional Applications
• Gourmet Culinary & Baking: Ideal for thickening clear sauces, puddings, fruit pie fillings, and creating gluten-free flours with a light, crisp texture.
• Baby Food & Clinical Nutrition: A primary ingredient in hypoallergenic baby biscuits, porridges, and specialized medical diets due to its non-irritating nature.
• Natural Personal Care: An excellent talc-free alternative in body powders, dry shampoos, and organic deodorants for its superior moisture-absorbing properties.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used as a high-purity binder and disintegrant in tablet manufacturing for sensitive active ingredients.
