National 1545 Starch - 50 lb Bag

The NATIONAL 1545 starch food blend offers optimal viscosity around 180°F (82°C). It retains its viscosity during standard kettle cooking procedures and holding durations before retorting. However, at retort temperatures and pressures, its thickening ability diminishes, resulting in minimal viscosity in the end product. Its high viscosity at filling temperatures minimizes splashing on can filling lines. This blend serves as an effective suspension aid, ensuring consistency in canned products with solid ingredients.
