Ultra TEX 8 Tapioca Starch

Ultra-TEX 8, a modified tapioca starch, is the kitchen miracle you didn’t know you needed. Unlike traditional starches, Ultra-TEX 8 thickens without heat, making it ideal for cold sauces, dressings, and dessert fillings. It creates a smooth, glossy texture without cloudiness and has a clean, neutral taste that won’t overpower your ingredients. Because it can be added directly to liquids without clumping, it saves time and allows for quick adjustments to texture and viscosity.

In the kitchen, Ultra-TEX 8 shines in everything from fruit purees and dairy-based sauces to emulsified vinaigrettes and modernist gels. It’s great for stabilizing foams or thickening marinades, especially when you don’t want to alter flavor or apply heat. You can also use it to improve the mouthfeel of low-fat products or to create silky-smooth finishes in sauces and soups. Whether you're going for refinement in plating or texture in a cocktail component, Ultra-TEX 8 offers precise control and consistent results.
