Starches
Starches are polysaccharide granules extracted from corn. Thanks to a physical treatment, pregelatinization, they are cold processable. In addition chemical treatments, hydroxypropyl substitution & phosphate crosslinking, avoid syneresis and increase stability & resistance of starches versus pH, high shear and temperature.
In solution, starch granules swell to texturize formulations and give creaminess & pick up.
