E1412 Distarch phosphate
E1412 Distarch phosphate
Product Description:
E1412 is the European food additive code for distarch phosphate (also known as modified starch E1412). It is a modified starch derived from various starch sources, such as corn, tapioca, or wheat. Distarch phosphate undergoes a modification process involving phosphorylation, which enhances its functional properties and expands its applications in the food industry.
Distarch phosphate appears as a white to off-white powder with a neutral taste and odor. It has good solubility in water and forms a clear, viscous solution when dissolved. The modification process alters the structure of the starch molecules, improving its stability, resistance to shear, and tolerance to high temperatures and acid conditions.
Product Applications:
Food Industry: Distarch phosphate serves as a versatile ingredient with multiple functions in food applications. Some common applications include:
Sauces and Dressings: It is used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in sauces, gravies, salad dressings, and condiments. It provides viscosity, texture enhancement, and stability.
Bakery Products: Distarch phosphate is used in bakery products such as bread, cakes, pastries, and fillings. It improves moisture retention, texture, and shelf stability.
Processed Meats: It finds application in processed meat products like sausages, hams, and canned meats. It acts as a binder, improving texture, water retention, and sliceability.
Dairy Products: Distarch phosphate can be used in dairy-based products like custards, puddings, and dairy desserts. It helps improve consistency, texture, and stability during processing and storage.
Confectionery: It is used in confectionery products like candies, jellies, and fillings. It provides texture enhancement, stability, and resistance to heat and acid conditions.
Beverages: Distarch phosphate can be used in beverages as a stabilizer or thickener to improve mouthfeel and prevent sedimentation.
Non-Food Applications: Distarch phosphate may also have non-food applications, including:
Pharmaceutical Industry: It can be used as a binder, disintegrant, or controlled-release agent in pharmaceutical tablets and capsules.
Personal Care Products: The modified starch may find application in personal care products like cosmetics, lotions, and creams, where it acts as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsion stabilizer.
Paper Industry: Distarch phosphate can be used as a sizing agent in the paper industry to improve paper strength, surface smoothness, and ink holdout.
