Product Introduction
Acid Treated Starch (E1401) is a modified starch produced by controlled acid treatment of native starch. The acid treatment modifies the starch molecular structure, resulting in lower hot-paste viscosity, good flowability at high solids concentrations, excellent film-forming properties, and strong gel formation after cooling. According to the supplied technical material, acid-treated starch can be produced with different alkali fluidity ranges to meet different processing requirements.
WEHENGFOOD is a professional Acid Treated Starch manufacturer, supplier and exporter in China, supplying food-grade acid modified starch for food manufacturers, ingredient distributors and industrial customers worldwide. We can provide different specifications according to customers’ formulation and processing requirements.

Functions of Acid Treated Starch
Acid treated starch provides several functional advantages compared with native starch. It has low viscosity during high-temperature processing, allowing manufacturers to prepare starch pastes at relatively high concentrations while maintaining good flowability. After cooling, it can develop a stronger gel structure, making it particularly suitable for confectionery applications.
Its main functions include low hot-paste viscosity, good flowability, strong gel formation, good film-forming properties, high paste transparency, good adhesion, filling and texturizing effects. It can help improve the firmness, elasticity and compact structure of finished products and reduce deformation during processing.
Acid Treated Starch Applications
Confectionery: Acid treated corn starch is particularly suitable for gummies, starch gummies, milk candies and other confectionery products. Its combination of low hot viscosity and stronger gel formation after cooling helps produce gummies with good texture, elasticity and eating quality. The training material specifically notes that acid-treated starch can help produce gummies that are less sticky to the teeth and wrapping materials while maintaining product stability.
Jelly & Gel Products: Acid treated starch can be used in jelly, pudding and gel-based food formulations where controlled viscosity during processing and gel formation after cooling are required. The supplied brochure specifically recommends E1401 acid-treated starch for pudding, jelly and turtle jelly-type products.
Bakery & Food Processing: It can also be used in bakery products, coatings and other processed foods as a functional modified starch. Your technical material lists food applications including confectionery and bakery products.
Industrial Applications: In addition to food applications, acid modified starch can be used in paper, textile and gypsum board industries. In textile sizing, its low viscosity and good flowability allow relatively high-concentration sizing pastes to be prepared, while providing uniform film formation.
