In professional and amateur cooking, achieving the perfect texture is a key challenge.
Chefs often find themselves having to balance flavors and textures, without compromising the quality of the food.
That’s where Crystal Corn comes in, a natural thickener made from pregelatinized modified waxy corn starch, which is transforming the way we manage food texture.

Key Features of Crystal Mais

Crystal Corn is a tasteless, odorless and colorless thickener, which allows you to preserve the authentic taste of the ingredients.
Unlike thickeners such as flour or starch, which can alter the flavors or final texture, Crystal Mais ensures that the end result remains true to the original recipe.
Here are some of its main features:

  • Extreme versatility: Crystal Mais is effective on a wide range of foods, including spirits (up to 20% ABV), syrups, fruit smoothies, and smoothies.
  • Acidity resistance: Even in the presence of foods with high natural acidity, the thickener does not break down, maintaining the stability of the preparation.
  • Wide temperature range: Whether cold (-30°C) or hot (+200°C), Crystal Mais ensures an optimal result.
    This makes it perfect for both baking and cold dishes such as mousses and desserts.

Benefits for Your Kitchen

Thanks to its immediate action, Crystal Mais allows you to see the results of thickening quickly: 90% of the action is visible immediately, while the remaining 10% stabilizes in fifteen minutes.
This speed makes it ideal for dynamic kitchens, where time is of the essence.
In addition, its application is extremely easy: just mix it with a whisk or spoon, without the need for complex equipment such as blenders or hand blenders, making the preparation process simple and quick. Does not alter flavor: One of the main problems with many thickeners is that they can negatively affect the final flavor.
Crystal Corn, on the other hand, being tasteless, does not change the taste of the ingredients in any way, guaranteeing tasty dishes with a perfect texture.

How to use

To avoid lumps, Crystal Mais can be added directly to liquid foods and mixed until the desired consistency is achieved.
Thanks to its innovative formula, it guarantees a stable and effective thickening action on a wide range of preparations, including:

  • Topping and glossy sauces
  • Jams and jellies
  • Pastry preparations

Beware of Enzymes

One thing to keep in mind is that Crystal Mais can be affected by the enzyme α-amylase contained in saliva, which destroys the starchy bond formed in the food.
For this reason, it is important to never taste the mixture with the same spoon more than once.

An ally in the kitchen

In conclusion, Crystal Mais is the ideal partner for those who want to take their culinary preparations to the next level.
Whether you’re a professional pastry chef or a cooking enthusiast, this thickener will guarantee you perfect results, without compromising the flavor or quality of your dishes.
