Modified starch production line, ideal choice for small and medium-sized enterprises
Modified starch is based on the inherent properties of natural starch. In order to improve the performance of starch and expand its application range, it adopts physical, chemical or enzymatic methods to introduce new functional groups on starch molecules or change the size of starch molecules and starch particles. Thus, the natural characteristics of starch (such as gelatinization temperature, thermal viscosity and stability, freeze-thaw stability, gel strength, film-forming property, transparency, etc.) can be changed to make it more suitable for some application requirements. This type of starch that undergoes secondary processing and changes its properties is collectively referred to as modified starch.
Modified starch is designed to meet the requirements of various industrial applications. For example, high-temperature technology (canned food sterilization) requires the high-temperature viscosity stability of starch, frozen food requires good freeze-thaw stability of starch, and jelly food requires good transparency and film-forming properties. The second is to explore new uses of starch and expand its application scope. For example, the use of starch in textiles; Hydroxyethyl starch and hydroxypropyl starch replace plasma; High cross-linked starch replaces talc powder for surgical gloves, etc.
The development of modified starch in China started relatively late, starting in the 1980s. It has been applied in many fields such as textile, papermaking, food, feed, casting, medicine, construction, petroleum, etc. The application of modified starch in China is still an emerging business, with significant differences compared to foreign countries in terms of the types, quality, and scope of application of modified starch. Among them, there are more than 200 kinds of modified starch based on corn starch, while there are only more than 10 kinds of modified starch based on corn starch in Chinese Mainland.
Our pre gelatinized starch/modified starch production line is designed specifically for producing various types of modified starch, such as modified starch and pre gelatinized starch. This production line is developed by our company on the basis of researching and researching foreign technologies, and its technical performance and product quality have reached a relatively advanced level in the world. This is an advanced puffing machine with flexible configuration, wide range of raw material applications, and convenient operation, suitable for various small factories.
