What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

There is no MOQ. We support small-batch customization starting from 25 kg trial batches for formulation validation, scaling up to full container loads. Custom cold viscosity or mesh size grades are welcome at any volume.

What are the lead times for samples and bulk orders?

Free lab samples ship within 48 hours. First production orders ship within 10–15 working days, including export inspection and non-toxic/dangerous-goods testing; repeat orders ship within 7–10 working days.

Can I get free samples before placing an order?

Yes. We ship 500 g free lab samples within 48 hours so you can evaluate the grade on your own production line. Sample shipping terms — please confirm with our sales team.

Which base material should I choose for my application?

Each base has a different profile: waxy corn is a premium base with high amylopectin, low retrogradation and a stable transparent paste; tapioca is the main base with a neutral taste and transparent paste covering the widest range; potato delivers high viscosity and is common in noodle and meat products; regular corn is the cost-optimized bulk base; wheat is available in the pregelatinized line. Share your application and target viscosity — our R&D team recommends the base during formulation.

Are GFMStech pregelatinized starches certified for food use?

All grades are produced under ISO 9001:2015, ISO 22000 and ISO 14001 management systems, with HALAL and KOSHER certification for global market access. Every shipment includes a per-batch COA covering dry-basis moisture, peak viscosity, heavy metal and microbiology results.

How does the custom formulation process work?

Send us your target processing temperature (cold process or microwave), equipment shear force, oil and moisture ratio, and target shelf life and storage temperature. Our application R&D center runs formulation and manufacturing feasibility analysis (DFM), and the RVA lab benchmarks the viscosity profile — typically within 3 working days — before we produce your sample.

Frozen foods specialized modified starch application

Frozen Dough

Water retention and anti-staling: helps slow retrogradation and hardening so frozen dough does not weep through repeated cold-chain freeze-thaw cycles and does not shrink or crack after thawing.
