THERMTEX® is derived from waxy maize, which is a type of corn with high amylopectin content. This modified food starch finds application in canned food systems. 
Canned foods often require specific characteristics in their ingredients
 to ensure optimal heat penetration and achieve the desired final 
viscosity. THERMTEX® is utilized in canned food systems where optimum heat 
penetration is crucial. This is important for ensuring that the canned 
food is adequately processed and safe for consumption. The starch contributes to achieving high final viscosity in canned food 
products. Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow and is 
important for the texture and mouthfeel of the final product.
