Description

Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate is a modified starch derivative widely used as a versatile emulsifier and stabilizer. Its primary value lies in its ability to form stable oil-in-water emulsions and encapsulate sensitive ingredients, making it indispensable for creating consistent, high-quality products. This ingredient is essential for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking to improve texture, shelf-life, and active ingredient delivery.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Key emulsifier and stabilizer in beverage emulsions (clouding agents), salad dressings, sauces, and flavor encapsulation.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a binder, disintegrant, and emulsion stabilizer in tablet formulations and liquid dosage forms.
• Nutraceuticals & Supplements: Effective for the microencapsulation of oil-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), ω-3 fatty acids, and other sensitive nutrients.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a stabilizer and texture enhancer in lotions, creams, and sun care products.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as a sizing agent in paper manufacturing and a binder in various industrial processes.
