Starch Market Looks for New Flexibility

February 11, 2008: 12:00 AM EST
Europe’s food starch market grew by less than one percent to 4.6 million tones, worth $3.6 billion in 2007, with high prices putting the squeeze on margins. However, the ingredient is essential for taste enhancement and has such a wide variety of uses, according to Frost & Sullivan, that its importance will continue. The consultancy says producers should concentrate more on price differentiation and finding consumers’ exact wants and needs. The Association des Amidonniers and Feculiers (AFF) says around 12.5 million tonnes of cereals and 10 million tonnes of potatoes are used to make 9 million tonnes of starch or derivatives. Recent research in Europe and the US has found new ways of improving and releasing taste sensations.
