100% natural corn flour without additive
Maize flour for the food industry and pet food
Looking for a maize flour regular, traceable and compatible with your production constraints. At Lacadée Agro-Industrie, based in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, we transform corn for biscuits, snacks, technical products and animal nutrition manufacturers.
Our industrial maize flour comes from conventional GM-free maize, processed without additives. Control of the chain, from accompanying the farmers and collecting to drying, storage and milling, allows us to work on precisely monitored parameters: grain size, humidity, purity and batch regularity.
Benefits of our corn flour: French, gluten-free and traceable
Our corn flours combine functionality, nutritional qualities and naturality. They do not contain any additions, additives or gluten.
Corn flour has a calorie intake similar to wheat flour but offers more fibers and vitamins B.
Moreover, it does not contain gluten.
Our flours are 100% natural: simply corn and mechanics.
Traceability is followed by grain to the finished product. This organization allows you to bring concrete elements:
- Origin of the substance,
- Documented checks,
- Batch consistency
- Food security.
A process of manufacturing from collection to processing
From corn reception to milling
The transformation is carried out on our site of Mont, at Pole 1, Route Départementale 817, in 64. The process starts with the receipt and selection of batches, then with drying and storage under monitored conditions. Grain cleaning and the first processing of corn are then conducted with constant control of the expected characteristics.
Controls at each stage of production
The regularity of a food corn meal is not declared, it is verified. We follow the checkpoints that are useful to industry:
- Humidity,
- Granulometry,
- Material cleaning,
- Health security
- Conformity of lots
This vigilance is essential on maize, in particular to secure food and feed use. These audit steps are made possible by our multidisciplinary team.
The different uses of our corn flour
The maize flour can be integrated into different agri-food manufactures. Its fine milling, grain size and regularity of batches make it possible to adapt to the constraints of different processes:
- Extrusion and snacking : Corn flour can be used in the formulation of extruded products and snacks, in addition to other fractions of corn. The particle size chosen is involved in the behaviour of the material during the process and in the characteristics sought in the finished product.
- Biscuits and bakeries : used in different recipes, corn flour allows to diversify the formulations and bring the specific characteristics of corn in terms of taste, colour and texture. It is also a naturally gluten-free raw material.
- Breading and coating : corn flour can be used in surface applications to contribute to the bonding of the coating and to the texture sought after cooking, especially when a crispy result is expected.
- Food mixtures and formulations : its finesse and regularity also allow the integration of maize flour into various technical preparations and mixtures requiring a constant raw material from one batch to another.
Pet food and animal feed
In pet food and animal nutrition, corn flour is sought for its regularity, availability and good integration into formulations. Again, raw material and processing make a difference. An upstream process reduces unnecessary gaps and facilitates the work of both buyers and production teams.
