Modified starches are derived from native starches through various processing techniques, including physical, enzymatic, wet and dry chemical treatments, drum drying, and extrusion. These methods alter the properties of native starch such as freeze–thaw stability, resistance to acids or alkalis, and tolerance to shear to create products that meet diverse industrial and functional requirements. Modified starches serve multiple purposes, including thickening, stabilizing, binding, and emulsifying. In addition to their widespread use in food products, they are also utilized across numerous non-food industries and in the animal feed sector due to their enhanced performance characteristics.
