What are Modified Starches?
Modified starches are conventional starches considered as food additives (E-number), due to their chemical modification process, modified starches are highly functional starches, which are not available in organic quality. Through modification, functional attributes in food applications are achieved that cannot be obtained with native starch. These properties include enhanced process tolerance and storage stability under varying conditions of temperature, pH, and shear stress. Additionally, it allows for control over the product’s texture and enhances properties such as water uptake and fat absorption.
