If you are looking for a clean-label ingredient that combines strong gelling properties, texture development and functional versatility, ViciaMYL fava bean starch concentrate is an ingredient worth exploring.

Thanks to its high starch content and naturally retained fava bean components, ViciaMYL can help create structure, improve texture and support product performance across a wide range of applications. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers working on snacks, bakery products, batters, coatings, meat products and plant-based alternatives.

Whether your goal is improving bite, enhancing texture or creating a more appealing product experience, ViciaMYL offers an attractive pulse-based solution.

Our specialists are happy to help you identify the most suitable ViciaMYL grade for your formulation.

Potato starch and maize starch functionality is largely limited to providing thickening, viscosity and starch-based texture. They contribute little to the nutritional profile, ingredient story or plant-based positioning of a finished product.

ViciaMYL fava bean starch concentrate offers a broader value proposition. In addition to delivering strong gelling properties, it combines starch functionality with naturally retained fava bean components, providing a more distinctive pulse-based, clean-label solution.

This makes ViciaMYL particularly attractive in applications where manufacturers are looking for more than texture alone. It can help create structure, binding, bite and product integrity, while supporting the development of products with a more recognisable and consumer-friendly ingredient declaration.

For companies developing plant-based foods, meat alternatives, snacks, batters, coatings or other innovative food concepts, ViciaMYL offers an opportunity to move beyond traditional starch functionality and introduce the added value of a fava bean-based ingredient.

Whether your objective is improving texture, strengthening product structure or enhancing clean-label positioning, ViciaMYL delivers a compelling alternative to conventional potato and maize starches.
