Acid Modified Starch

About Acid Modified Starch

Acid modified starch, also known as thin-boiling starch, is a type of starch that has been partially hydrolyzed using mineral acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid under controlled conditions. This treatment breaks down the long starch chains, reducing their molecular weight and viscosity while maintaining the granule structure. The resulting starch exhibits low hot paste viscosity but forms strong gels upon cooling, making it valuable in various industrial applications. Acid modification enhances clarity, solubility, and texture, which are particularly useful in confectionery products, sauces, and textile sizing. In the food industry, acid-modified starch is commonly used in gummy candies, fondants, and jellies to provide a smooth texture and stable gel. Beyond food, it finds applications in paper, adhesives, and pharmaceuticals due to its film-forming and binding properties. Its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and improved processing characteristics make acid-modified starch an important functional ingredient across multiple industries.

Versatile Industrial Applications

Acid Modified Starchs properties make it suitable for a wide range of uses. It plays a critical role in industrial, textile, and food processes due to its reliable viscosity, purity, and excellent solubility. Its free-flowing nature and fine granulation ensure easy handling and efficient mixing, enhancing productivity and consistency in product formulation.


Premium Food Grade Quality

This starch meets rigorous food safety standards, ensuring safe consumption as an ingredient in a variety of food products. Its odorless and tasteless profile allows it to be used without altering flavors or scents, and its outstanding whiteness improves the visual quality of end products. Food manufacturers can depend on its purity for superior performance.


Optimal Storage and Longevity

Packed in robust polypropylene bags, Acid Modified Starch maintains its properties for up to 24 months when stored correctly. Keeping it in a cool, dry environment away from moisture ensures that its quality and appearance remain uncompromised, making it a reliable and long-lasting choice for businesses and distributors.
