Modified starch is a derivative of natural starch that has been physically, enzymatically, or chemically altered to improve its performance for specific industrial and food applications. These modifications enhance properties such as solubility, stability, viscosity, and resistance to heat, acid, or freezing. Common types include oxidized starch, acid-treated starch, and cross-linked starch, each designed for unique functional benefits. In the food industry, modified starch is widely used as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, or fat replacer in products like sauces, soups, baked goods, confectionery, and frozen meals due to its ability to maintain texture and consistency under varying conditions.

Beyond the food sector, modified starch has significant applications in pharmaceuticals, textiles, paper, and adhesives. In pharmaceuticals, it acts as a binder or disintegrant in tablets, while in the paper industry, it enhances strength and printability. Modified starch is also used in biodegradable packaging materials and as a raw material in bio-based products, supporting the growing demand for sustainable solutions. With increasing consumer preference for processed and convenience foods, coupled with advancements in starch modification technologies, the global demand for modified starch continues to grow steadily.
