So, what is fécula de maíz modificado?

Modified cornstarch, or "fécula de maíz modificado" in Spanish, is a common food ingredient that is derived from corn. This type of cornstarch is modified through a chemical process that alters its molecular structure, giving it unique functional properties. It is commonly used as a thickening agent in a variety of foods, including sauces, gravies, and soups. Modified cornstarch also improves the texture and stability of processed foods, such as baked goods and dairy products. Additionally, it can enhance the shelf life of foods and improve their freeze-thaw stability. This versatile ingredient is gluten-free, making it a popular choice for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.
