- Cold-water-swelling thickener: Ultra-Tex 8 is a modified starch derived from tapioca, designed to build viscosity in instant food applications
- Smooth, glossy texture: High viscosity, a bland flavor profile and good melt-away characteristics make it useful where a clean, smooth starch texture matters
- Culinary applications: Suitable for instant puddings, sauces, pastry fillings, Bavarian creams and cheese sauces
- Broader formulation use: Also suited to frozen or baked goods and other neutral formulations where smooth texture and controlled viscosity are useful

Ultra-Tex 8 is a cold-water-swelling modified food starch derived from tapioca. It is designed for instant food applications where high viscosity, a smooth glossy texture and a bland flavor profile are useful. It is a specialty culinary starch rather than ordinary unmodified tapioca starch. Use it in instant puddings, sauces, pastry fillings, Bavarian creams and cheese sauces. It can also be used in frozen or baked goods and other neutral formulations where a smooth texture and controlled viscosity are desired.
