摘要

DEXTRINIZED WAXY STARCH OF EXCELLENT CLARITY AND LUSTER IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION AND PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE The present invention relates to a process and the product resulting from pretreating corn starch with calcium or sodium hypochlorite in a controlled manner wherein the starch in aqueous slurry at about 90 to about 115.degree.F is contacted with from about 0.1 to 6.0% chlorine based on the weight of starch to tenderize the starch which is thereafter filtered, washed, dried and dextrinized in conventional manner to produce dextrins having excellent clarity, luster and stability in aqueous solutions containing at least 30% by weight of solids.
