E Numbers 1400 to 1499 - Modified Starches


E-Number Name Origin Origin(Other)
E1400 Dextrins Polymer of dextrose, prepared by partial degradation of starch
E1401 Acid treated starch Prepared by treating starch or starch granules with inorganic acids. The starch is partially degraded
E1402 Alkaline treated starch Prepared by treating starch or starch granules with sodium- or potassium hydroxide. The starch is partially degraded
E1403 Bleached starch Prepared by treating starch with bleaching agents. The starch is partially degraded and oxidised
E1404 Oxidised starch Prepared by treating starch with hypochlorite. The starch is partially degraded and oxidised
E1410 mono-starch phosphate Prepared by treating starch with phosphoric acid. The starch is partially degraded and phosphorylated
E1411 Di-starch glycerol Prepared by treating starch with glycerol. The starch is partially degraded and combined with glycerol E422; Glycerol Involved
E1412 Di-starch phosphates Prepared by treating starch with a phosphorylating agent. This results in better application possibilities
E1413 Phosphatylated di-starch phosphate Prepared by treating starch with a phosphorylating agent and phosphoric acid. The resulting starch has increased stability at high and low temperatures and is more resistant against acid
E1414 Acetylated di-starch phosphate Prepared by treating starch with a phosphorylating agent and acetic acid. The resulting starch has increased stability and dissolves better at low temperatures
E1420 Starch acetate Prepared by treating starch with acetic acid anhydride. The resulting starch is more stable at high temperatures and low pH
E1421 Starch acetate Prepared by treating starch with vinylacetate. The resulting starch is more stable at high temperatures and low pH comparable with E1420
E1422 Acetylated di-starch adipate Prepared by treating starch with acetic acid anhydride and adipinic acid anhydride. This results in a starch that is resistant against stirring and high temperatures
E1423 Acetylated di-starch glycerol Prepared by treating starch with acetic acid anhydride and glycerol. This results in a starch that is resistant against stirring and high temperatures and with a high stability after cooling E422; Glycerol Involved
E1440 Hydroxypropylstarch Prepared by treating starch with propyleneoxide. The resulting starch is more stable against acid, alkaline and starch degrading enzymes. It also provides better colour and shine to products
E1441 Hydroxypropyl-di-starchglycerol Prepared by treating starch with propyleneoxide, epichlorhydrine and glycerol. The resulting starch is more stable against acid, alkaline and starch degrading enzymes. It also provides better colour and shine to products and is more stable after cooling E422; Glycerol Involved
E1442 Hydroxypropyl-di-starchphosphate Prepared by treating starch with propyleneoxide and phosphoric acid. The resulting starch is more stable against acid, alkaline and starch degrading enzymes. It also provides better colour and shine to products and has very good freeze-thaw properties
E1450 Starch sodium octenyl succinate Prepared by treating starch with octenylsuccinate
