Pregelatinized Starch

Pregelatinized starch is a modified starch that has undergone a process known as pregelatinization, which involves heat and moisture treatment to make the starch soluble in cold water. This modification alters the structure and properties of the starch, providing enhanced functionality and versatility in various applications. Pregelatinized starch is derived from different sources such as corn, potato, tapioca, and wheat.Product Description:Pregelatinized starch is a fine, white powder with a smooth texture. It has a neutral taste and odor. The pregelatinization process disrupts the native granular structure of the starch, resulting in a modified form that readily disperses and hydrates in cold water without the need for heating or cooking. This feature makes pregelatinized starch convenient and easy to use in different formulations.Application in Food Industry:Pregelatinized starch serves as a valuable ingredient in the food industry, offering a range of functionalities.
