Description

Amylopectin, Acid-Hydrolyzed, 1-Octenylbutanedioate is a chemically modified starch derivative, specifically an octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) modified, acid-thinned amylopectin. This modification imparts valuable emulsifying, stabilizing, and film-forming properties, making it a superior functional ingredient compared to native starch. It is primarily utilized in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries where oil-in-water emulsion stability and texture modification are critical. This product is supplied as a fine, white to off-white powder and is identified by CAS No. 113894-85-2.

Application

• Food Industry: Acts as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in beverage clouds, flavor emulsions, salad dressings, and dairy-based drinks.
• Encapsulation Agent: Used for the microencapsulation of oils, flavors, vitamins, and other sensitive lipophilic compounds to enhance stability and shelf life.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in tablet formulations, acting as a binder and disintegrant, and in topical creams as a stabilizer.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a thickener, emulsion stabilizer, and texture enhancer in lotions, creams, and sunscreens.
• Industrial Applications: Employed in paper coating, adhesive formulations, and as a biodegradable additive in various specialty chemical processes.

Quality Control

Our Amylopectin, Acid-Hydrolyzed, 1-Octenylbutanedioate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for identity, purity, and functionality relevant to its intended application grade (e.g., Food Grade/FCC, Pharmaceutical). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as degree of substitution, viscosity, and microbiological quality is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption.
