So, what is acetylated distarch adipate?

Acetylated distarch adipate is a modified food starch derived from corn that is commonly used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in processed foods. It is created by treating starch with acetic anhydride and adipic acid, resulting in a highly branched, cross-linked structure that enhances its functional properties. This ingredient has several advantages over traditional food starches, including improved heat and acid stability, freeze-thaw stability, and reduced retrogradation. Acetylated distarch adipate is used in a wide range of food products, including baked goods, dairy products, sauces, and beverages, to improve texture, stability, and shelf life.
