So, what is destrina?

Destrina is a fine, white powder that is commonly used in food production as a thickening agent. It is a type of modified starch that is made by breaking down the molecular structure of corn or wheat starch through a process known as hydrolysis. This results in a powder that is more soluble in water than regular starch, making it an ideal ingredient for thickening sauces, gravies, and soups. Destrina also has the added benefit of being able to improve the texture and mouthfeel of food products, making them more appealing to consumers. Due to its versatility and effectiveness as a thickener, destrina is a popular ingredient in the food industry.
