[edit] Description

A modified food starch produced from corn by Grain Processing Corporation. It forms clear, flexible films without requiring cooking. Products thickened with Pure-Cote dry into a crispy "glass" at room temperature.

[edit] Uses

Alinea uses Pure Cote mixed with fresh pineapple juice to make "pineapple sheets". The mixture is dried on acetate sheets at room temperature until pliable. The sheets are then separated from the acetate, cut into individual portions and shaped as desired. Finally, the pieces are dried to a crisp texture using a food dehydrator.
