Modified flours and starches
1. Introduction
These products, which are also called swelling flours or swelling starch, are especially
characterized by their modified water absorption and solubility properties. The viscosity
of flour-(starch-)and-water suspensions is adjusted to suit customers’ specific needs.
Suitable thermal or mechanical energy input into a mixer and extruder allows
products to be made which are soluble in cold or hot water and which have a wide range
of viscosities. Modified flours and starches are applied in the following products:
