E1420 Acetylated starch
Product Description:E1420 is the European food additive code for acetylated starch (also known as modified starch E1420). It is a modified starch derived from various starch sources, such as corn, tapioca, or wheat. Acetylated starch undergoes a modification process involving acetylation, which alters its properties and enhances its functionality for various applications in the food industry.Acetylated starch is typically a white to off-white powder with a neutral taste and odor. The modification process involves the introduction of acetyl groups to the starch molecules, which improves its stability, solubility, and resistance to shear and acid conditions. The degree of acetylation can vary, affecting the functional properties of the modified starch.Product Applications:Food Industry: Acetylated starch serves as a versatile ingredient with multiple functions in food applications. Some common applications include:Sauces and Dressings: It is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in
