food grade starch

Starch is a widely used ingredient in the food industry, known for its thickening, stabilizing, and texturizing properties. In recent years, modified starches have gained significant popularity due to their enhanced functionalities and versatility. In this blog, we will delve into the world of modified starches, with a focus on Bluecraft Agro’s innovative solutions, and explore their various applications in the food industry.

What is Modified Starch? 

Modified starch is derived from native starch, which is extracted from various plant sources such as corn, wheat, or potatoes. Through physical, enzymatic, or chemical processes, the structure of native starch is modified to improve its functionality and performance. This alteration can involve changes in starch granule size, molecular weight, or the introduction of new chemical groups. The resulting modified starch exhibits enhanced properties that make it suitable for a wide range of food applications.
