Technical Document
Oxidized Potato Starch is a modified starch produced by treating native potato starch with an oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, under controlled conditions. This modification alters the molecular structure of the starch, increasing its stability and solubility, and improving its functional properties in food applications. It is particularly useful for applications that require thicker textures, improved viscosity, or longer shelf life.
