Modified Starch

Modified starches can have practical applications in the following fields: textile, pulp and paper, food, feedstuff, foundry, pharmaceuticals and oil drilling. Vedan Vietnam has foreseen the great potentiality of Tapioca starch production in Vietnam and invested large human forces and material resources to comprehensively deploy and promote modified starch production. Currently, the company has been developing the variety of modified starches for wide applications in many industries.

We are specilized in Acetylated starch. Acetylated starch is created by a process of natural starch reacting with acetic anhydride or vinyl acetate. Ester groups have effect on the prevention of amylose retrogradation in starch. This modification prevents gelling and weeping and maintains structural appearance of the processed product. This also improves its stability after the freeze-thaw process, improves the water-holding ability and lowers gelatinization temperature of the starch, increasing peak viscidity and improves the gel clarify. The result of this modification is a stable starch used to produce durable pastes through several freeze-thaw cycles and to prevent water leakage. The applications are widely in foods as foundation substance with the good freeze-thaw stability. The extended applications in food industry are the combination of ester starch with cross-linked starch. In paper industry, ester starch can provide extremely viscidity stability.

Properties: Clarity, lower gelatinization point, increased stability, low temperature, good water-holding capacity, texturing agents.
Applications: instant noodles, frozen foods, ham, sausage, fishball, Chinese dumpling.
