Starch 1422 & 1442: Properties, Applications and Solutions
Mar 20, 2025
Starch is a vital raw material in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. Among various modified starches, Starch 1422 and Starch 1442 are widely used due to their unique properties. This article will introduce the characteristics and applications of these two types of starch and highlight COFCO Technology & Industry’s professional solutions in starch processing.
I. Characteristics of Starch 1422 and Starch 1442
1. Starch 1422
Chemical Name: Acetylated Distarch Phosphate
Key Properties:
Excellent thickening and stability, suitable for high-temperature, acidic, and shear-intensive processing.
High transparency and smooth texture, making it ideal for products requiring clarity.
Superior anti-aging properties, extending the shelf life of food products.
2. Starch 1442
Chemical Name: Hydroxypropyl Distarch Phosphate
Key Properties:
Outstanding freeze-thaw stability, ideal for frozen food applications.
Excellent viscoelasticity, enhancing texture and mouthfeel.
High resistance to acids and alkalis, making it suitable for complex processing environments.
II. Applications of Starch 1422 and Starch 1442
1. Food Industry
Starch 1422:
Used in yogurt, jelly, and pudding for enhanced transparency and smooth texture.
Acts as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, canned foods, and processed foods.
Starch 1442:
Applied in frozen foods (e.g., dumplings, glutinous rice balls) to improve freeze-thaw stability.
Serves as an emulsifier and thickener in dairy and baked goods.
2. Pharmaceutical Industry
Starch 1422:
Used as an excipient in tablet and capsule formulations.
Starch 1442:
Applied in controlled-release drugs to regulate the release rate of active ingredients.
3. Chemical Industry
Starch 1422:
Used in the paper industry for surface sizing, enhancing paper strength.
Starch 1442:
Acts as an adhesive in textiles and construction materials.
With years of expertise and technological innovation, COFCO Technology & Industry offers comprehensive, end-to-end starch processing solutions, covering the production of Starch 1422 and Starch 1442.
