E1404 Oxidized Starch
Food-grade oxidized starch developed for good transparency, controlled viscosity, excellent flow, film formation and reliable performance in food processing applications.
WHAT IS E1404 OXIDIZED STARCH?
E1404 / INS 1404 Food-Grade Oxidized Starch
E1404 Oxidized Starch, also identified as INS 1404, is a food-grade modified starch produced through controlled oxidation of edible starch.
It is designed to provide good whiteness and transparency together with controlled viscosity and improved flow properties.
E1404 Functional and Processing Performance
E1404 can provide good film-forming performance, uniform films and useful adhesion while helping reduce shrinkage and cracking.
It can also provide good gas-retention performance in selected flour products and may help shorten fermentation time.
KEY FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS OF E1404 OXIDIZED STARCH
High Whiteness & Transparency
Supports a clean appearance and good transparency in suitable starch-based food systems.
Controlled Viscosity & Flow
Higher oxidation levels can provide lower paste viscosity and improved flow for easier processing.
Uniform Film Formation
Forms smooth and even films with reduced tendency to shrink, crack or break.
Good Adhesion
Provides useful bonding properties for selected food coating and adhesion applications.
Good Gas Retention
Helps support gas retention in selected flour-based products during fermentation.
Processing Flexibility
Suitable for confectionery, sauces, fried-food coatings, glazing systems and flour products.
E1404 PERFORMANCE IN FOOD PROCESSING
E1404 Oxidized Starch combines controlled viscosity, flow, film-forming ability and adhesion for selected food-processing systems.
E1404 Processing Performance Overview
| Processing Requirement | Typical Performance |
|---|---|
| Transparency | Supports clear and visually appealing starch pastes in suitable applications. |
| Flowability | Controlled oxidation can reduce paste viscosity and improve flow during processing. |
| Film Formation | Produces even films with reduced tendency toward shrinkage or cracking. |
| Adhesion | Useful bonding performance for selected coating and food adhesion applications. |
| Frying Coatings | Suitable for crispy and scale-forming fried-food coating systems. |
| Flour Product Fermentation | Good gas-retention performance can support selected flour-product fermentation processes. |
Actual performance depends on oxidation level, starch source, dosage, formulation and processing conditions. Application testing is recommended before commercial production.

E1404 Identification and Analytical Methods
Identification procedures used for E1404 quality control include microscopic examination, iodine staining, copper reduction and oxidized-starch identification.
Non-pregelatinized E1404 retaining granular structure can be examined microscopically for characteristic starch-granule shape, size and structure.
A sample suspension is treated with iodine solution to evaluate the characteristic starch color response.
Following acid hydrolysis, the prepared sample reacts with alkaline copper tartrate reagent and produces the prescribed red precipitate.
Sodium-hypochlorite oxidized starch containing carboxyl groups can be identified using methylene-blue staining under the prescribed test conditions.
For international reference, review the official FAO/JECFA specification information for Oxidized Starch (INS 1404).
These values represent Tianjiang's current quality-control test limits for E1404 Oxidized Starch. Actual batch results are reported in the corresponding COA. Specifications may vary according to starch source, product grade and customer application requirements.
