INS 1401 Acid-Treated Starch
INS 1401 Acid-Treated Starch is a food-grade modified starch developed for low viscosity, good flowability, controlled gel characteristics and reliable film-forming performance in selected food applications.
WHAT IS INS 1401 ACID-TREATED STARCH?
INS 1401 Acid-Treated Starch Overview
INS 1401 Acid-Treated Starch is produced by treating food starch with an approved acid under controlled processing conditions.
The treatment modifies the starch structure to provide relatively low viscosity, good flowability and useful gel characteristics for selected food formulations.
Acid Treatment and Functional Performance
Hydrochloric acid, orthophosphoric acid or sulfuric acid may be used as acid-treatment reagents according to the applicable processing requirements.
Tianjiang acid-treated starch also provides useful film-forming properties, including film rigidity and adhesion, for appropriate food-processing systems.
KEY FUNCTIONAL BENEFITS OF INS 1401 ACID-TREATED STARCH
Low Paste Viscosity
Supports food formulations requiring lower starch-paste viscosity and easier handling.

INS 1401 Identification and Analytical Methods
Identification procedures used for quality control include microscopic examination, iodine staining and copper reduction.
Non-pregelatinized acid-treated starch retaining granular structure can be examined microscopically for characteristic starch-granule shape, size and structure.
A starch suspension is treated with iodine solution and evaluated for the prescribed color response ranging from deep blue to reddish brown.
Following acid hydrolysis, the prepared sample reacts with hot alkaline copper tartrate reagent to produce the prescribed red precipitate.
For international reference, review the official FAO/JECFA specification information for Acid Treated Starch (INS 1401).
These values represent Tianjiang's current quality-control test limits for INS 1401 Acid-Treated Starch. Actual batch results are reported in the corresponding COA. Specifications may vary according to starch source, product grade and customer application requirements.
