Cationic starch is a type of modified starch that carries a positive charge, which is introduced through a process called etherification. In the context of food ingredients, cationic starch is used to improve the texture and stability of food products. Its key properties include enhancing water retention, controlling viscosity, and acting as a flocculant. These characteristics make it suitable for a wide range of applications such as dairy products, bakery items, convenience foods, and meat products. The positive charge of cationic starch allows for better interaction with negatively charged molecules such as proteins and anionic polysaccharides, which can improve the homogeneity and shelf life of certain food products.
The food industry's demand for cationic starch is influenced by trends toward health-consciousness and the desire for clean label products. Manufacturers are increasingly adopting cationic starches to replace synthetic additives as consumers seek out more natural ingredients in their foods.
Notable companies participating in the cationic starch market include Ingredion Incorporated, ADM Company, Cargill Incorporated, Tate & Lyle, Roquette Frères, and AGRANA Beteiligungs-AG. These companies focus on innovation in food science to improve the functional properties of starches and meet the evolving needs of the food processing industry. Show Less Read more
