Modified Wheat Starch
For Controlled Texture and Process Stability
Modified wheat starch is wheat starch made resistant to process conditions by cross-linking or stabilisation; it keeps the neutral taste and soft texture typical of wheat while limiting viscosity loss during heat treatment, mixing and cold storage. It is used in bakery fillings, creams and custards, ready sauces, frozen pastry, meat products and instant soups. PERDIST compares modification type, viscosity profile, residual gluten, moisture and microbiological values against the supplier specification for wholesale modified wheat starch requests and offers the grade suited to your application with its documents. For wholesale modified wheat starch the target viscosity, process conditions and modification type are assessed before the quotation, and a sample with the technical sheet is shared. For pastry and filling producers, packaging and delivery frequency are planned. The gluten declaration and the E number appear in the product documents.
Product and Application Details
| Product definition | Modified starch from wheat (Triticum aestivum) permitted under food regulations; cross-linked or stabilised grades. May contain residual gluten. |
