Modified starch
Modified starch is a food ingredient that is derived from natural starches obtained from plants like corn, wheat, or potatoes. Starch is a carbohydrate found in these sources, and when it undergoes modification, its properties can change to better suit various food production needs.
To make modified starch, regular starch is treated physically, enzymatically, or chemically to alter its texture, thickening properties, or stability. This process helps the starch adapt to different cooking techniques and storage conditions, making it a versatile ingredient used in a wide range of food products.
You may find modified starch listed on food labels because it enhances the texture, thickness, or shelf life of foods. It can be used in products like soups, sauces, bakery items, and even desserts to improve their consistency and quality. Modified starch plays a crucial role in maintaining the overall appeal and taste of various processed foods available in supermarkets.
