Popular questions
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.
Is maltitol syrup bad for you?
Not inherently; it’s widely approved as a sugar substitute, but large amounts can cause gas, bloating, or a laxative effect. It has fewer calories than sugar and is tooth-friendly, but still contributes some carbs.
What is maltitol syrup made from?
It’s made by hydrogenating maltose‑rich starch hydrolysates from plant sources such as corn (maize), wheat, or tapioca.
Is maltitol syrup gluten free?
Yes—it's considered gluten free; even when derived from wheat, processing removes gluten to below the 20 ppm threshold. Highly sensitive individuals may still prefer products labeled gluten free.
What is maltitol syrup made of?
A water-based mixture mainly of maltitol (a sugar alcohol) with smaller amounts of related hydrogenated saccharides such as sorbitol and maltotriitol.
Does maltitol syrup raise blood sugar?
Yes, but typically less than the same amount of table sugar; it still contains digestible carbohydrates and can raise blood glucose, especially in larger servings.
