A process for the production of a starch dispersible in boiling water

摘要

A process for the production of a starch dispersible in boiling water comprises heat treating the starch in the presence of water and an emulsifier. …A mixture of starch, an emulsifier containing at least one fatty acid monoester in a quantity of from 1 to 5% by weight of fatty acid monoester, based on the dry weight of the starch, and water is prepared in such a way that the water content of the mixture amounts to between 20 and 30% by weight, and the mixture is heat-treated for 1 to 20 mins at a temperature of 90 to 120 DEG C to obtain a starch showing 95 to 100% dispersibility in boiling water.
