UNI-PURE IMF 2332 starch encapsulates fats and oils in hydrolysed or milk-protein-free infant formulae, opening up the market to manufacturers of products for infants with specialised dietary requirements.
UNI-PURE IMF 8561 and UNI-PURE IMF 2332 starches have been manufactured to high microbiological standards, ensuring industry-leading quality in delicate infant formulae applications. Forming a core part of Ingredion’s Clinical and Infant Nutrition portfolio, the two ingredients are easily identifiable by the IMF (infant milk formula) suffix, enhancing customer clarity and peace of mind.
Dr. Karin Meissner, business development manager for infant and clinical nutrition at Ingredion comments: “Although breastfeeding remains the gold standard in infant nutrition, infant milk formula is the best choice when breastfeeding is not an option. Manufacturers need to be able to create safe and effective infant formulae to help give children the best start in life. With more than 10 years of experience in developing innovative ingredients for the infant nutrition industries, Ingredion is committed to creating the best infant nutrition ingredients under brands that are recognisable and established in the market. Trusted ingredients, such as UNI-PURE IMF 2332 and UNI-PURE IMF 8651 starches help our customer to differentiate their formulas and are a key part of the commitment.”
UNI-PURE IMF 2332 UNI-PURE IMF 8651 are only two products in Ingredion’s extensive infant nutrition range. Other ingredients include ULTRA-SPERSE IMF starch for desirable textures in infant formulae and the NOVATION suite of clean label ingredients for fruit preps and baby food.
