They also have many other use or applications.
Starches are modified to improve their performance in various applications. Starches can be changed to increase their stability against extreme heat, acid, cooling, or freezing; to change their texture; to increase or decrease their viscosity; or to increase their visco-stability. The significant drivers for Modified Starch is the growing awareness about functional food and the growing demand for natural ingredients in food and feed.
