摘要

A lipophilic starch is provided along with methods of making the same. The starch is prepared by modifying the starch with an organic acid anhydride reagent, such as octenyl succinic anhydride, drying the modified starch to a moisture content of less than 15% by weight, and then heat treating the dried starch at a temperature of at least 100°C for at least one minute.
