A native corn starch, Clearjel™ thickens foods instantly and evenly without cooking. As a thickening agent, it is most commonly used in canned recipes, cold drinks and pie fillings, imparting a smooth, short texture when fully hydrated. Heat will increase its viscosity (or thickness). Moreover, Clearjel™ is resistant to heat and acid, making it ideal for applications involving acid, cooking or baking. Clearjel™ can also be stored at cold temperatures, making it suitable for freeze-thaw applications. We recommend blending it thoroughly with sugar or other dry ingredients to prevent lumping before adding it to liquids – since sugar controls starch hydration.
