Modified Starch
Modified starch is natural starch that has been chemically, physically, or enzymatically altered to change its properties, making it more suitable for specific applications like food, paper, and pharmaceuticals. These modifications improve its stability against heat, acid, and freezing, and alter its texture to act as a thickener, stabilizer, or emulsifier.
Applications
Food industry: Used in a wide range of products including sauces, dressings, dairy products, baked goods, frozen foods, and fillings. They help extend shelf life and improve texture.
Paper industry: Acts as an adhesive for bonding paper layers in cardboard and other paper products, increasing strength and controlling moisture.
textile industry: To protect warp yarns during weaving by providing a protective film that increases their strength, abrasion resistance, and elongation
