Acetylated distarch phosphate

Acetylated distarch phosphate (CAS 68130-14-3), approved as E1414, is a chemically modified starch produced by combining acetylation and phosphate cross-linking treatments.

Where is Acetylated distarch phosphate used?

• Food manufacturing: thickener and stabilizer in canned soups, sauces, and dairy-based products processed at high temperatures
• Freeze-thaw applications
• Salad dressings and mayonnaise-style emulsions: texture consistency and prevention of phase separation during storage
• Paper and pulp: surface sizing agent improving sheet strength and printability
• Textile warp sizing protects yarn during weaving and improves fabric finish.

Good to know: Dual modifications give enhanced resistance to heat, acid, and shear. Food-grade material conforms to E1414 under EU additive regulations; FCC-compliant material is available for markets requiring that benchmark.
