Canned foods and soups

Prolonged heat inside a sealed pack

Scope of this application

The current range suits canning with a moderate thermal process. For full retort (above 120 °C for an extended hold) the industry standard is a phosphate cross-linked grade, which is not in Bavan’s first-phase range. If your process is full retort, say so at the outset so that neither side wastes time.

Why native starch is not enough

Through a long thermal process the native granule swells past its limit and ruptures; a product that had body at filling turns thin in the can. A cross-linked grade restrains that swelling and holds the texture to the end of the process.

Stresses the starch must survive

Extended heating after sealing

Heat combined with acid in tomato products

Agitation before filling

Long ambient storage
