Product Details

💎 1. Product Introduction

Acid Treatment Modified Corn Starch (E1401) is a food-grade starch derived from corn and modified through controlled acid hydrolysis. This process partially breaks down starch chains, resulting in improved solubility, lower viscosity, enhanced transparency, and better dispersion compared to native starch.

Chibio Biotech supplies high-quality E1401 compliant with GB 29928-2013 food standard  , suitable for modern food processing applications requiring stable thickening and improved functional performance.
