What is the difference between native and modified starch?+

Native starch is extracted and dried without altering it chemically; it thickens well but can lose viscosity under heat, acid or shear. Modified starch is treated physically, enzymatically or chemically to hold up under those conditions, or to gel cold, which suits industrial processing and demanding food formulations. Botanical origin also changes the behaviour. The grade and its properties are given on the specification sheet. RAVMENT supplies Starch in bulk and exports it worldwide — request a quote.
