ULTRA-SPERSE® 5
  modified starch is high-performance starch that swells in cold water. This property can be advantageous in various food applications. The starch is derived from waxy maize, which is a type of corn known for its high amylopectin content. It yields a short texture in food products. In culinary terms, a "short"
 texture often implies a crumbly or tender quality, which can be 
desirable in certain applications. ULTRA-SPERSE® 5 is noted for providing good sheen, clarity, and smoothness. The product is available under Ingredion Incorporated’s TRUETRACE® 
Identity Preserved Program, indicating that it is sourced from 
non-genetically modified (non-GM) ingredients. This aligns with the 
preference for non-GM products.
