So, what is maize starch modified?

Maize starch modified is a common food ingredient that has been treated to change its properties. It is derived from corn, and it is used as a thickening and binding agent in various food products. The modification process involves breaking down the starch molecules, which alters their physical and chemical properties. This results in a starch that is more soluble and stable in high-heat conditions, making it ideal for use in soups, sauces, and gravies. Additionally, modified maize starch can improve the texture and mouthfeel of foods, making them smoother and creamier. It is a versatile ingredient that is used in a wide range of food products, including baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats.
