Modified Corn Starch for Process Stability
Learn how modified corn starch can be evaluated for heat, shear and storage stability in food formulations.
1. Key point
## What Is Modified Corn Starch? Modified corn starch is a starch ingredient with improved functional behaviour for specific processing and application requirements. It can be considered where more controlled viscosity and structure are required under heat, shear, freeze-thaw or storage conditions.
2. Key point
## Applications in Food Manufacturing Modified corn starch can be used in sauces, ready meals, frozen foods, fillings, soups and other processed-food applications. Product selection should consider viscosity retention, process stability, structure changes during shelf life and compatibility with other ingredients in the formulation.
3. Key point
## Technical Evaluation Modification type and product performance may vary by grade. The E-number, conditions of use, dosage and regulatory suitability must be confirmed through the relevant technical documentation. PERDIST evaluates the following criteria: - Processing temperature and shear conditions - Freeze-thaw stability - Viscosity retention during shelf life - Target viscosity and texture - Usage rate - Technical and regulatory documentation
