Pregelatinized Modified Waxy Maize Starch (Acetylated Distarch Adipate 309)

Modified Waxy Maize Starch (Acetylated Distarch Adipate 309 – Pregel) is a fully pregelatinized, acetylated distarch adipate derived from waxy corn. Produced through controlled thermal treatment, this cold water–soluble modified starch delivers instant thickening without the need for cooking. It offers excellent thickening power with outstanding resistance to heat, freeze/thaw cycles, acidic conditions, and shear, making it ideal for formulations requiring immediate functionality and long-term stability.

Pregelatinization enables rapid hydration and viscosity development, while chemical modification ensures consistent performance under demanding processing conditions and extended storage. Aqueous dispersions yield transparent, smooth, short-textured pastes that remain stable over time, with no post-gelation or syneresis. Target applications include specialty condiments, instant products such as dessert creams and fruit sauces, and fruit preparations in bakery products.
