Description

Acetylateddistarchglycerol is a modified starch derivative, specifically a cross-linked and acetylated starch, known for its exceptional stability and functional properties. This compound is critical for providing texture, consistency, and shelf-life extension in demanding formulations where native starches fail. It is an essential ingredient for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors seeking reliable thickening, stabilizing, and gelling agents.

Application

• Food Industry: As a versatile texturizer and stabilizer in sauces, gravies, soups, bakery fillings, and dairy products, providing heat, acid, and shear stability.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a binder, disintegrant, and film-forming agent in tablet formulations, and as a viscosity modifier in topical creams and lotions.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a thickener, emulsion stabilizer, and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Industrial Applications: Acts as an adhesive component, a binder in paper and textile manufacturing, and a viscosity control agent in various aqueous systems.
• Encapsulation: Suitable for the encapsulation of flavors, fragrances, and active ingredients due to its film-forming properties.

Quality Control

Our Acetylateddistarchglycerol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It complies with relevant food additive specifications, including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and JECFA standards, where applicable. Every batch is tested for critical parameters such as acetyl content, degree of substitution, and microbiological purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your specifications.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption.
