Acid Modified Starch

Product Description

Acid modified starch is a type of starch that has been treated with dilute acid under controlled conditions to change its properties. This process reduces the molecular size of the starch and improves its solubility and fluidity. Acid modified starch is widely used in the food industry as a thickening stabilizing and gelling agent. It provides smooth texture clarity and good binding strength in products like candies desserts sauces and dressings. In confectionery it helps in making gummy candies and jellies by providing firm gel structure. It is also applied in the paper and textile industries to improve strength surface quality and printability. Acid modified starch has lower viscosity compared to native starch which makes it easy to handle in industrial processes. Its versatility cost effectiveness and functional properties make it an important ingredient in both food and non food applications where controlled texture and stability are required.
