Modified starch is a starch derivative produced by physical, chemical or enzymatic processing to improve the properties of natural starch and expand its application scope. There are over 2,000 varieties and specifications of gelatinized starch. Natural starch has limitations such as high gelatinization temperature, susceptibility to aging and re-gelling, and poor freeze-thaw stability. Through modification, its properties such as gelatinization temperature, thermal viscosity stability, freeze-thaw stability, gel formation ability, film-forming ability and transparency can be changed. According to the different processing methods, gelatinized starch can be classified into four categories: physical modification (such as pre-gelatinized starch), chemical modification (such as esterified starch, cross-linked starch, oxidized starch), enzymatic modification (such as dextrin) and composite modification. Due to its adjustable properties and diverse functions, it is hailed as the "flavor enhancer" in the industry and is widely used in various fields such as food, papermaking, textiles, medicine, and petroleum.
Modified Starch - Applications and Characteristics
I. Food and Beverage Industry
Cereal products: Adding cross-linked starch or esterified starch to noodles and instant noodles can enhance the elasticity and toughness of the noodles, improve the smoothness, reduce the breakage rate during cooking, and increase the durability; in ready-to-eat noodles, it can improve the rehydration property, chewiness and elasticity; in fried instant noodles, using modified starch can form a crispy structure and reduce the oil absorption.
Baked foods: Adding pre-gelatinized modified starch to bread, cakes, and cookies can increase moisture content, delay aging, increase volume and improve structure; it can also be used as a substitute for shortening to reduce fat intake, or form a shiny film on the surface of baked foods to replace protein and natural gums.
Frozen food: Modified starch can solve problems such as cracking of the surface, darkening of the surface, collapse during steaming, and sticky texture in frozen rice and flour products, thereby enhancing the freeze-thaw resistance of the products; in frozen desserts, it gives the product a creamy texture and increases storage stability.
Meat products and fish paste products: Used as water-retaining agents, binders and tissue-forming agents in ham, sausage, meatballs, and fish balls, they can improve the juiciness, elasticity and freeze-thaw stability of the products, and reduce the loss of juices.
Dairy products and beverages: In yogurt, it acts as a thickening agent and stabilizer to increase viscosity and reduce whey separation; in emulsified beverages, it serves as a stabilizer to improve taste and texture, and can partially replace the expensive Arabic gum.
Candies and jams: Oxidized starch acts as a gel agent in both soft and hard candies, providing a gel structure; its film-forming and adhesive properties are utilized as a candy polishing agent; in jams, it thickens and controls the structure, giving a luster and freeze-thaw resistance.
Tapioca and pastries: The cross-linked hydroxypropyl starch made from cassava can significantly improve the appearance, texture and anti-aging properties of tapioca dough.
II. Medicine and Health Supplements
Drug excipients: Modified starch can be used as a binder, disintegrant and excipient for tablets.
Medical materials: Hydroxyethyl starch and hydroxypropyl starch can replace plasma; highly cross-linked starch can replace talcum powder used in surgical gloves; Absorbent powder can be decomposed and absorbed by human enzymes, and can replace talcum powder in the medical field.
Soft capsule material: Plant-based materials composed of modified starch can replace gelatin to make soft capsules. They are used for packaging fish oil or cosmetics, and have advantages such as high temperature resistance, anti-adhesion, energy conservation, and environmental protection.
III. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
Modified starch can be used as a thickening agent, stabilizer and adhesive in cosmetics; the new modified starch soft capsule material is being used for the packaging of high-end cosmetics.
IV. Industrial Sector
Paper industry: Used as a wetting agent to enhance the bonding force of fibers and improve the physical strength of paper; used as a surface sizing agent to enhance smoothness, burst resistance and tensile strength; it can also be used as a coating adhesive.
Textile industry: Used as warp sizing agent (acidification, oxidation, esterification and other types of starch modification), the sizing solution has low viscosity, good thermal stability and easy delamination; it can replace sodium alginate in the printing paste and be used for reactive dye printing.
Petroleum industry: Used as a filter loss reducer in drilling mud and a thickening agent for fracturing fluids.
Others: It can also be used in industries such as feed adhesives, casting, ceramics, adhesives, and detergent additives.
