    Modified starch refers to the use of physical, chemical or enzymatic treatment to introduce new functional groups on starch molecules or change the size of starch molecules and the properties of starch granules in order to improve the properties of starch and expand its application range, thereby changing the gelatinization temperature of starch, The natural characteristics such as thermal viscosity make it more suitable for the general term of starch for certain application requirements


    Compared with ordinary starch, modified starch mostly has high paste transparency, low gelatinization temperature, high starch paste viscosity and good stability, low retrogradation, excellent film-forming properties, strong frost resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance and mechanical resistance.


    Commonly used modified starches are pregelatinized starch, etherified starch and composite modified starch


    Modified starch produced in some countries has been recognized by WHO and FAO Expert Committee on Food Additives.
