Whole Grain Rice Dairy Alternative

VegOstar™ (VEJ-oh-stahr) native pea starch is derived from non-GMO Canadian and U.S.-grown yellow peas, one of the most eco-friendly crops as they recycle atmospheric nitrogen and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers. VegOstar offers a unique, allergen-friendly, cost-effective and clean label alternative to other native starches or most chemically-modified starches. A functional powerhouse that is virtually flavor-neutral and color-neutral, VegOstar is ideal for improving texture and tenderness in a variety of foods without compromising the organoleptic profile.

Made by a chemical-free mechanical process which separates the starch from the protein in yellow peas, VegOstar features approximately 84% starch purity, is higher in amylose than other native starches such as wheat and corn, and can replace some modified starches. At approximately 35% amylose content, native pea starch can form a gel in water at lower levels than other starches making it a superior choice for food products that require a slight elastic texture, including Asian style noodles or gummy confections. VegOstar shows excellent stability in high temperature cooking and under various pH levels.

Functionally, at 65% amylopectin content, this native pea starch can also serve as a thickening agent and can benefit the mouthfeel of beverages as well as the viscosity of sauces, gravies, pastes, doughs and batters. In addition, it works well with crispiness, and its water-holding capacity contributes to enhanced food stability and extended shelf life especially in aseptic processing. Starting with this initial VegOstar SKU, work is being done on creating additional pea starch SKUs and tailoring them for specific applications—mostly for flavor modifiers.

Nutritionally, the amylose content also makes VegOstar a good source of resistant starch. This can provide the benefits for blood sugar control, calorie control and digestive health, since resistant starches are a type of dietary fiber which go most

Yellow Pea Starch

Oryza™ (oh-RAHYZ-uh) is an allergen-friendly, white crystal derived from the whole rice grain. This rice sugar is primarily composed of glucose (dextrose monohydrate), which is the body’s primary source of energy. Oryza has a perceived sweetness level of 120 giving it the perception that it is sweeter than raw sugar, thus a smaller quantity is needed. Oryza can naturally aid in the absorption of electrolytes in oral rehydration products including sports drinks, according to World Health Organization (WHO) research. At a Glycemic Index of 98, Oryza is the ideal choice for food products intended to supply an easily-digested and rapid source of energy such as those for athletes or endurance sports. Alternatively, the glycemic load of a product can be reduced and regulated with the addition of dietary protein, a natural blood sugar buffer.

The proprietary all natural, hydrolyzation process breaks down the starches, resulting in extremely versatile and relatively healthy sweetener.

Oryza™ contains no fructose, no allergens, no chemicals, no sulfites and no GMOs.

Advantages of Oryza
• Oral rehydration formulas used for years
• Natural cooling effect like Xylitol
• Non-GMO
• 100% naturally derived products unlike corn syrup solids which use hexane method with sulfites and sulfates
• Ease of plating flavors
• Great carrier for other ingredients
• Allergen-friendly
• Economically efficient
• Ease of use
• Clean label

Applications
• Beverages—sports drinks, tea, coffee, drink mixes
• Desserts
• Infant formula
• Nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals
• Product substitution for high-fructose corn syrup solids
• Soy milk—lightly filtered rice syrup solids offset beany note more effectively than corn syrup solids
• Sports nutrition

Based out of California for over 15 years, Axiom Foods is the world’s first, largest and most innovative source for rice and pea proteins in addition to other all-natural, plant-based ingredients. As a food technology leader innovating functional, nutrition-packed, vegan ingredients in large commercial quantities, we work closely with the food, beverage, nutraceutical and specialty foods industries. David Janow (CEO & Founder) and our Axiom Foods team are dedicated to raising the bar with clinical trials, patented claims and the highest levels of quality from FDA GRAS, Non-GMO Project Verified and gluten-free, to highly concentrated plus neutral flavor and aroma.

Starting with only the highest quality crops, we derive all our products, from proteins to milk-alternatives and sweeteners, using minimal and chemical-free processing. The results are dietary-inclusive ingredients that help your brand manufacture clean label products for any and all consumers.

Since 2005 we have been committed to maximizing the potential of brown rice as the ultimate food product ingredient. Starting with our flagship Oryzatein® Brown Rice Protein, the first and only great tasting, patented and clinically-tested rice protein of its kind, we are continuing to expand its possibilities with multiple functional versions.

Axiom Foods is rounding out the selection of functional, allergen-friendly, non-GMO plant proteins with three (3) Cucurbotein™ Pumpkin Protein (kyoo-CURB-oh-teen) options now available for sampling. The time for pumpkin seed protein has arrived as the bar has been raised on concentration levels, functional options and commercial supply.

Pepitas are cold-pressed to remove most of their oil content in order to increase shelf life and protein concentration. Similar to the nutrient dense seeds, Cucurbotein™ can be a good source of iron, zinc, copper, manganese, magnesium and potassium, and a rich source of protein dependent upon the serving  size used. It is rich in arginine, a conditionally essential amino acid which is needed by the body for a number of biological processes such as maintaining acid/base balance in the body, helping to excrete nitrogenous waste, making NO (nitric oxide) to support healthy heart and vascular function. Ideally blended with pea protein to achieve a complete protein claim, pumpkin protein also delivers a low level of heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acids.

Available with full certifications from field to manufacturer, three different pumpkin protein SKUs provide varying concentration and functionality options that fit different applications. 

At 55% concentration, our Raw Cucurbotein™ OR55 version is the most neutral pumpkin protein. 

The highest concentration at the most consistent supply worldwide, our Raw Cucurbotein™ OR65 version is also the highest concentration that is solvent-free, mechanically processed, and not China-sourced. Featuring a typical pumpkin taste and smell, plus higher viscosity per gram powder, OR65 has the greatest potential in protein powder beverage applications and bars.

Finally, the Toasted Cucurbotein™ OT59 has a different, more savory taste and smell, and a light brown color. Especially ideal for meat alternatives, it’s natural aroma would particularly benefit a faux chicken product.
