Popular questions
What is hydroxypropyl starch phosphate?
It’s the phosphate‑crosslinked variant of hydroxypropyl starch—better known as hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate (E1442)—used as a thickener/stabilizer with higher heat, acid, shear, and freeze–thaw stability than E1440.
How to make boba with hydroxypropyl starch?
Blend about 70–80% tapioca starch with 20–30% hydroxypropyl starch (E1440), add 10–20% sugar, and pour in 60–70% near‑boiling water to form a smooth dough, then roll into pearls. Boil 15–25 minutes until translucent, let rest covered, and soak in syrup for chew.
What does sodium hydroxypropyl starch phosphate dp?
It’s a phosphate‑modified form of hydroxypropyl starch used as a thickener and stabilizer; “DP” typically refers to degree of polymerization (average chain length), which affects viscosity and gel behavior.
What foods contain hydroxypropyl starch?
It’s commonly used in sauces, soups, gravies, salad dressings, pie and fruit fillings, bakery creams, dairy desserts (puddings, yogurts), and some gluten‑free baked goods and noodles.
What is hydroxypropyl starch made of?
It’s made by chemically modifying plant starch (often corn, potato, or tapioca) with propylene oxide to attach hydroxypropyl groups. Unlike phosphate‑crosslinked versions, E1440 is not crosslinked and mainly improves freeze–thaw stability and texture.
How is bleached starch used in food?
As a thickener and stabiliser (and sometimes to aid emulsification), it improves texture, body, and consistency while standardising whiteness in products like soups, sauces, dressings, fillings, and desserts.
How is tapioca starch bleached?
By treating the wet starch with approved oxidising agents—commonly hydrogen peroxide or sodium hypochlorite—under controlled conditions, then thoroughly washing and drying; this boosts whiteness and reduces off-odours.
What foods have bleached starch?
It’s found in soups and sauces, salad dressings, bakery creams and fillings, confectionery, dairy desserts and puddings, and some ready-to-drink beverages, typically labelled as “bleached starch” or E1403.
What is bleached starch used for?
To thicken and stabilise foods, improve whiteness and clarity, help suspend ingredients, and reduce water separation in a range of processed foods.
What is the e number of bleached starch?
E1403.
