Replace flour
ActiStar™ RT resistant tapioca starch from Cargill Texturizing Solutions is a virtually invisible source of dietary fiber that replaces flour in baked products. With about 80 percent total dietary fiber, ActiStar™ RT contains one of the highest total dietary fiber (TDF) levels of any resistant starch, permitting reduced inclusion levels to achieve TDF target. In addition to its fiber benefits, ActiStar™ RT provides a lower calorie contribution than ingredients it typically replaces. ActiStar™ RT has a low water-holding capacity, permitting high levels of inclusion with few formulation changes and a non-gummy texture.
