Popular questions
What is hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate?
It’s a modified starch that is both hydroxypropylated and phosphate cross‑linked to improve stability and texture in foods; its E‑number is E1442.
How to do e1412?
E1412 (distarch phosphate) is made by crosslinking plant starch with phosphate groups (e.g., using phosphorus oxychloride or sodium trimetaphosphate), creating a heat-, acid-, and shear‑stable thickener/stabiliser used in sauces, soups, and fillings.
What is the e number for acetylated distarch phosphate?
Acetylated distarch phosphate is E1414.
What is modified food starch?
A group of plant-based starches that have been physically, enzymatically, or chemically treated to change how they behave in foods—improving thickening, stability, freeze–thaw performance, or emulsification (E1400–E1452).
Is modified food starch gluten free?
Often yes when sourced from corn, potato, tapioca, or rice; if it’s from wheat, it can contain gluten unless specially processed and labeled gluten-free. In the US/EU, wheat-derived modified starch must be declared as “wheat,” so check the allergen statement or a gluten-free claim.
What is modified corn starch?
Modified starch made from corn that’s been treated to improve thickening, stability, and resistance to heat, acid, or shear; commonly used in sauces, soups, dressings, and desserts.
Is modified corn starch gluten free?
Yes—corn is naturally gluten-free, and modified corn starch remains gluten-free; only potential cross-contact is a concern, so rely on allergen statements or a gluten-free label if needed.
What is modified wheat starch?
Starch from wheat that has been modified to alter its functionality (e.g., thicker, more stable or freeze–thaw tolerant); it may retain some gluten unless specifically purified and labeled gluten-free. “Wheat” must appear in allergen labeling in many regions.
