So, what is stärkelsesirap?
Stärkelsesirap, also known as starch syrup, is a versatile and commonly used food ingredient that is made by breaking down starch molecules into simpler sugars through a process called hydrolysis. It is a clear, thick, and sweet syrup that is often used as a natural sweetener, thickener, and stabilizer in a variety of food products such as baked goods, confectionery, and beverages. Stärkelsesirap has a mild flavor that does not overpower other ingredients, making it a popular choice for food manufacturers. It also has the added benefit of providing a smooth texture and improving the shelf life of products.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
