Shandong Fuyang Bio-tech produces Hydroxypropyl Starch, a modified starch derived from corn or tapioca starch. Commonly referred to as hydroxypropyl starch and designated as INS 1440 (E1440), it is available as a white powder and is used in food and industrial formulations where modified starch properties are required. Its powdered state also facilitates easy handling and mixing during manufacturing.
Created via regulated hydroxypropylation, the starch undergoes chemical modification through etherification with propylene oxide to change its functional characteristics. This method produces a modified starch intended for use as a thickener or stabilizer, with effectiveness that may vary based on the starch origin, formulation, and processing parameters. The component is not soluble in water according to the existing product specification.
Hydroxypropyl Starch can be used in various food and processed-food recipes, such as baked goods, sweets, dairy items, desserts, sauces, soups, instant meals, noodles, pasta, and snacks. It is ideal for producers and formulators seeking a flexible modified starch, food starch, or hydroxypropyl starch component for commercial product creation and processing.
