PROCESS FOR PREPARING MODIFIED, PREGELATINIZED DENT CORNSTARCH AND PRODUCT THEREOF

摘要

The present invention discloses a spray-dried, pregelatinized, hydroxy-propylated dent cornstarch which is essentially flavour-free, which has a viscosity building capacity equivalent to spray-dried and pre-gelatinized tapioca starch and which is obtained by spray-drying a slurry of cornstarch solids which have a gel temperature of from 53 to 59.degree.C. A method for producing particles of pre-gelatinized, modified dent cornstarch which are essentially flavour-free and which have a viscosity building capacity equivalent to spray-dried and pre-gelatinized tapioca starch is also disclosed.
