Starches

Manildra Group operates a starch plant located at Nowra, in New South Wales.

The starch plant converts industrial grade wheat flour into the primary products of wheat gluten (protein) and starch (carbohydrate). The starch fraction is processed into prime grade wheat starch, modified starches, glucose syrups, ethanol and  bottled carbon dioxide gas.
