Drivers: Functional properties of modified starch and their ease of incorporation in a wide range of food applications

Modified starch enables the modification of basic properties of native starch and obtaining certain functional properties suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. It has a variety of functions; it is used as a thickener, texture agent, fat replacer, and emulsifier. Modified starches, because of their characteristic of absorbing water and bulking up, render the essential mouthfeel to the food products they are used in. This makes them an excellent substitute for fat. Starch is also used as a thickener or as a gelling agent in food products, as the texture is one of the important factors for the consumers to accept the food products. Oxidized starches are used as thickeners and subsidiary gelatin agents in sauces, jellies, puddings, and ice creams. The advancement in technology used for processing starch has developed a variety of ingredients that can be customized to meet most formulating challenges.

Challenges: Rising cost of raw materials

Natural sources such as wheat, cassava, corn, and rice are used as raw materials for manufacturing modified starch and its derivatives. These raw materials are used widely for the production of modified starch are also used in the production of bio-ethanol products. Increasing consumption of modified starch in segments such as food & beverages, feed, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and paper leads to higher demand for this starch, thereby resulting in rising in the prices of raw materials. The modified starch industry is heavily dependent on raw materials—conventional and organic raw corn, wheat, potato, and rice. The raw material prices depend on the crop plantation area and harvest from which the raw materials are obtained.

The corn segment accounted for the largest share in the modified starch market

Based on raw material, corn dominated the modified starch market. Corn is a staple food, and it is preferred across the globe due to its importance in the diets of several countries. It is used extensively as a thickening agent in soups and liquid-based foods such as sauces, gravies, and custards.

The food & beverages segment is projected to account for a major share in the modified starch market during the forecast period

By application, the modified starch market is segmented into food & beverages, industrial, and feed. The food & beverage segment is further classified into bakery & confectionery products, processed food, beverages, and others, which includes snacks and soups. Modified starches have been developed for a significant period, and their applications in the food & beverage industry are increasingly gaining importance. Modified starches are considered as food additives that are prepared by treating starch or their granules with chemicals or enzymes, causing the starch to be partially degraded.
