According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Modified Starch Market by Raw Material, Type, Application, and Function: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2017-2023,“ the global modified starch market was valued at $7,995 million in 2016, and is projected to reach $10,700 million by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2017 to 2023. The food & beverage application segment accounted for more than half of the global market in 2016.
Modified starches are treated materials or additives obtained from different botanical sources such as maize, wheat, cassava, potato, and others. These can be transformed into various functional forms based on the required application; thus, they are preferred over native starch as the latter has limited functionalities. The most common chemical technique employed in the manufacturing of modified starch includes treating the crude starch with acids, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide. The physical treatment of starch to make it modified usually involves heat-moisture treatment, annealing, and pre-gelatinization. Modified starch is mainly applicable in the food & beverage and paper-making industries.
