Modified Corn Starch
Heat- and Freeze-Thaw-Stable Starch
Modified corn starch is corn starch made resistant to process conditions by physical or chemical treatment (cross-linking, stabilisation, pre-gelatinisation). It keeps its viscosity under high temperature, acidic conditions, intensive mixing and freeze-thaw cycles, and is used in ready sauces, ketchup and mayonnaise, frozen foods, dairy desserts, instant soups, meat products and bakery fillings. PERDIST compares modification type (E1412, E1414, E1422, E1442 etc.), viscosity profile, gelatinisation temperature, moisture and microbiological values against the supplier specification for wholesale modified corn starch requests and offers the grade suited to your application with its documents. For wholesale modified corn starch the process conditions, target viscosity and modification type are assessed before the quotation, and a sample with the technical sheet is shared. For sauce, filling and frozen-food producers, packaging and delivery frequency follow the production calendar. The E number needed for labelling is stated in the quotation.
