What it is
Oxidized starch is a modified starch made from corn, potato, or tapioca starch. It is treated with oxidizing agents to alter its properties, such as its viscosity and stability. This process results in a starch that can withstand higher temperatures and acidic conditions.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use oxidized starch as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in various food products. It helps improve texture and prevent ingredients from separating. You can find it in baked goods, dairy products, processed meats, and batters.
Health notes
In the U.S., oxidized starch is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated modified starches, and they are permitted for use in many countries. At typical consumption levels, oxidized starch is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Oxidized starch is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
