Oxidized Starch

We are counted among the reliable Manufacturers, Exporters and Suppliers of Oxidized Starch. The Oxidized Starch offered by us treating Native starch with a variety of oxidizing agents. The Starch reaches the buyers in airtight packaging options. We are capable of delivering bulk orders of it within the allocated time.
Details :
Oxidized Starch is obtained when Native starch is treated with a variety of oxidizing agents. As compared to native starch, Oxidized starches have shorter chain lengths. It enhances whiteness and eliminates microbiological content. Upon aging, the tendency towards retro-gradation (characteristic of most starches) is eliminated largely due to the presence of functional groups. The outstanding characteristics of oxidized starch is that the pasting results rapidly, at a lower temperature, and the starch paste exhibits a greater degree of fluidity and clarity than that of unmodified starches.

Applications :

• Food Industry :
  
  • Producing soft- bodied gels of high clarity, oxidized starches are the best thickener for applications requiring gels  of low rigidity. This improves adhesion in batters and breading.
  • Diluted solutions of highly oxidized starches remain clear on prolonged storage, making them suitable for clear, canned soups and transparent confectionery products.

• Paper Industry :
  
  • Oxidized starch is also widely used in surface sizing for paper industry which enhances the bonding of loosely attached paper fibers and fillers.
  • Where primary surface effects are desired, the holding of the paper to a controlled degree is required. This tends to minimize the size penetration for bond paper of good erasure resistance (a fairly tough film of starch upon the surface permits easy erasing of typed letters).

• Textile Industry :
  
  • It is widely used for wrap sizing.
