Abstract

Our report # 1 is a very comprehensive document with detail information and industry data along with description of how industry or plants are managed. Report includes detail review of several areas that cannot be found in other publications. It is also a very informative representation of production, markets, products, costs, capacity, players in the US and data sets of sweeteners, starch derivatives, co-products including the impact of trade regulations. None of this is available in any currently marketed reports, as we have attempted to compile in this report. In the last section of report is a complete list of global players of this industry. We provide deep insights into how this industry operates its costs, products and markets; an insider’s view with almost 100+ yrs. of experience of our associates. Our expertise in technology and marketing includes several aspects of this industry, several assignments in the operations, research and development; marketing and technology transfer in the U.S. and Europe. A great tool for current and future processors, suppliers, customers and an excellent resource to train new professionals in various functional departments within an organization or those who desire to enter this industry.


Corn wet milling and refining plants are highly sophisticated bioprocess operations that produce range of products such as citric acids, lactic acids, lysine, threoninie, xanthan gums, erythritol, sorbitol, xylitol, mannitol, hydrogenated starch hydrolyzates, maltodextrins, glucose hydrolyzates and the most recent nutritional products Sucromalt (more on this later). There will be many more to come such as integration of wet and dry milling could be one of the major changes. Further merging of these technologies with petroleum refining model will enhance the contribution of this bioprocessing industry to renewable fuels. SWOT analysis of the players and the insights are very informative.


Regarding report # 2, this is primarily focused on modified starches, derivatives and new opportunities. Value added modified starch derivatives remains very attractive area due to high margins and many universal food and industrial applications. There are excellent opportunities to grow the business in view of changes in the health, nutritional and functional needs of the changing consumer appetite as we move forward in the global economies. This is a comprehensive report with lot of data and insights in to modified starch products, market segments and future developments and how one can position in the changing global markets. There are certainly a number of promising new product areas and developments in biotechnology that may eventually lead to significant new business segments. Modified starches are utilized in hundreds or even thousands of food, industrial, biofuels, bioplastic applications. Unmodified starches have limited usage die to its inherent weakness of hydration, swelling and structural organization. To enhance viscosity, texture, stability among many desired functional properties desired for many food and industrial applications, starch and their derivatives are modified by chemical, physical and biotechnology means. There are development that have introduced products such as Novation/natural starches to replace chemical modifications and use of biotechnology as tool to enhance these properties further. This is a much focused report provides current situation, products, markets and future of modified starches that are used in foods and industrial sectors. We also provide our insights and strategic manufacturing and market positioning perspectives for the manufacturers of these products and potential future developments. This report provides many details; specific insights and starch derivatives market segment data not found elsewhere.
