Comparing E1404 - Oxidised starch vs E1400 - Dextrin

Overview

E1404 - Oxidised starch

Oxidised starch (E1404) is a modified starch used to thicken, stabilize, and sometimes emulsify foods. It is made by gently oxidizing edible starch so it disperses easily, gives a smooth texture, and holds up in processing. It is approved for use in many countries, including the US and the EU.

E1400 - Dextrin

Dextrin (E1400) is a group of short-chain carbohydrates made from starch. In foods it works as a carrier, thickener, stabiliser, and sometimes as a glazing aid for a crisp finish. You’ll see it in seasonings, instant mixes, snacks, and confectionery because it dissolves easily and helps dry powders flow.
