Modified corn starch
Modified corn starch is a common food ingredient typically derived from the corn plant. It is a processed form of corn starch that has been treated to change its properties, making it more versatile for use in various food products.
To produce modified corn starch, the natural corn starch undergoes a series of treatments that can involve adding acids, enzymes, or heat. These processes help alter the starch molecules, giving it different characteristics compared to regular corn starch.
You'll often find modified corn starch listed on food labels because it serves multiple purposes in food production. It can be used as a thickener in soups and sauces, a stabiliser in dressings and puddings, or a binder in baked goods. This ingredient helps improve texture, prolong shelf life, and enhance the overall eating experience of products like salad dressings, canned soups, and yoghurts.
