Distarch Phosphate (E1412) is a chemically modified starch produced by cross-linking natural starch molecules using phosphorus-based reagents. This modification significantly enhances thermal stability, acid resistance, and freeze-thaw durability, making it an ideal ingredient for processed foods, sauces, canned products, dairy, and syrups.
Chibio Biotech offers high-purity food-grade E1412 derived from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz), compliant with GB 29926-2013 standards, ensuring excellent performance and regulatory safety.
CAS Number: 55963-33-2
Chemical Formula: (C6H10O5)n with phosphate cross-links
Molecular Weight: Variable (polymeric structure)
Modification Type: Cross-linked starch via phosphoric acid derivatives
Solubility: Easily soluble in cold water, forming a clear, stable solution

🥣 Improves Stability – Withstands cooking, freezing, and acid conditions
🍲 Maintains Texture – Prevents breakdown in soups, sauces, and dairy
🧊 Perfect for Frozen Foods – Excellent freeze-thaw resistance
🌾 Derived from Natural Cassava – Clean-label and gluten-free
🧪 Compatible with pH Range 3–8 – Suitable for diverse food systems
Distarch Phosphate offers high heat resistance and shear stability, making it ideal for processed sauces and gravies that undergo prolonged cooking or retort sterilization. In puddings and custards, it helps maintain a smooth, glossy texture without syneresis.
✅ Key Benefit: Improves viscosity and texture during high-temperature processing
✅ Recommended Dosage: 1.0%–3.0%
During canning, foods are subjected to high heat and pressure, which can break down native starches. E1412’s cross-linked structure remains stable under these conditions, preventing product thinning and water separation.
✅ Key Benefit: Maintains product uniformity and suspension of particulates
✅ Recommended Dosage: 1.5%–3.5%
One of the biggest challenges in frozen food is texture loss and water separation during thawing. Distarch Phosphate minimizes these effects, offering excellent freeze-thaw stability. It’s particularly effective in gravies, fillings, and frozen baked goods.
✅ Key Benefit: Prevents syneresis and preserves mouthfeel after freezing
✅ Recommended Dosage: 2.0%–4.0%
In dairy systems, E1412 contributes to a creamy texture, viscosity control, and emulsion stability without compromising taste. It also helps prevent whey separation in yogurt and soft cheeses.
✅ Key Benefit: Enhances creaminess, prevents phase separation
✅ Recommended Dosage: 0.8%–2.0%
Distarch Phosphate works well in low-pH, high-sugar syrups and clear drinks, providing viscosity without cloudiness. Its acid resistance makes it suitable for fruit concentrates and drinkable gels.
✅ Key Benefit: Maintains clear, stable viscosity in acid and sugar systems
✅ Recommended Dosage: 0.5%–1.5%
