Comparing E1414 - Acetylated distarch phosphate vs E1421 - Acetylated starch

E1421 - Acetylated starch

Acetylated starch (E1421) is a modified starch used to thicken, stabilize, and emulsify many everyday foods. It is made by attaching small acetyl groups to starch from plants like corn, potato, or tapioca, which helps foods keep a smooth, steady texture during processing and storage. It has long been approved by major regulators and is used at the minimum level needed for its effect.
