Modified Starches Developed by CTCRI
|
Possible End Uses/Users |
|
Pregelatinized starch |
Pharmaceutical excepient, food ingredient, oil mud drilling (Food, pharmaceutical and
petroleum industries). |
|
Physically modified starches (Heat-moisture treated starches, annealed starches,
steam-pressure treated starches, microwave irradiated starches. |
Food ingredient- thickener/viscosifier in food products, preparation of
resistant starch, paper sizing (Food and paper industries). |
|
Oxidized starch |
Food ingredient in convenience foods, instant puddings, sauces and soup powders, in paper
industry as a surface sizing agent, textile industry binding agent in paper
industry (Food, paper and textile industries).
|
|
Starch acetate |
Pharmaceutical excepient, as controlled/sustained release polymer, warp sizing
on textiles (Pharmaceutical, textile industries). |
|
Succinylated starch |
Food ingredient- as binders and thickening agents in foods; tablet disintegrant in
pharmaceuticals, surface sizing agents and coatings, binders in paper (Food,
pharmaceutical and paper industries). |
|
Octenyl succinate starch |
Emulsion stabilizers for oil in aqueous systems, products with a DS up to 0.02 are allowed
to use for food purposes, as emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers in beverages
and salad dressings, as flavor-encapsulating agents and as clouding agents.
(Food and pharmaceutical industries). |
|
Starch citrates |
To increase the dietary fiber contents in the form of RS4 type resistant starch (Food
industry).
|
|
Starch phosphates |
Controlled/sustained release polymer, as thickeners in food industry, emulsifying agents.
(Food and pharmaceutical industries). |
|
Carboxymethylated starch |
Tablet disintegrant for immediate release tablet formulations, in textile printing.
(Pharmaceutical and textile industries). |
|
Cross-linked starches |
Food ingredient in salad dressings, frozen foods and puddings due to high paste
consistency and stability (low level of cross-linking). Highly crosslinked
starch is thermally stable and can find application as surgical dusting powder,
sizing of textiles (Food, Pharmaceutical and textile industries). |
|
Hydroxypropylated starches |
Due to high freeze-thaw stability, hydroxypropyl starches can be used in frozen food industry
and are used in canned sauces and gravies (Frozen food industry).
|
|
Cationic starches |
Paper and textile sizing, in cosmetics, flocculation agents in waste water clarification
(Paper, textile, cosmetic and water treatment industries) |
|
Grafted starch |
Controlled/Sustained release polymer, oil mud drilling, controlling filtrate loss for
drilling muds, modifying viscosity in displacement fluids and inhibiting the
hydration of clay and shale for enhanced oil recovery, water treatment,
development of biodegradable plastic materials, water absorbing materials,
sizing agents in textile (Pharmaceutical, textile, petroleum, water treatment
industries) |
|
Pyrodextrins |
Fat-replacers in low-calorie foods and in bakery glazes, as protective coatings in
confectionary and crispy coatings in fried snacks, resistant starch production,
components in sausages and meat emulsions (Food industry). |
