So what actually is a modified starch? Why even take efforts to modify it most importantly? And, is it safe to consume after it is modified?

Modified starch is a complex carbohydrate that has one or more of its constituents transformed chemically, physically, or enzymatically. Modifying the structure of food starches gives them a more desired consistency, helps them in holding up effectively against heat and acidic settings, and aids them in dissolving more quickly.

The key purpose of using modified starch in foods is to add a thickening, gelling, or binding agent. You must be aware that corn-starch can be used as a thickening element in sauces and gravies. However, a gravy or sauce can get lump-filled because normal corn-starch does not dissolve properly at high temperatures.

On the other hand, modified food starch dissolves easily at high temperatures and lessens the chances of getting lumpy, which is the reason it is used in several types of preserved or jarred sauces or gravies. Also, modified starch is used as a thickening element in fat-free dairy items, and as a binding element in low-fat deli meats.

Is Consuming Modified Starch Safe?

The believed answer to this is ‘yes’. Modified starch has almost no nutritive value, hence, it is extensively used in processed food products. It does not disturb the nutritive value of any food it is added in. However, if there is something to worry about modified starches it is that they can be produced from wheat. Persons having wheat or gluten allergies are advised to take precautions while consuming a food product having modified starch, except the package mentions the source of modified starch, or is labelled as gluten-free.
