2. Which starch is used the most for sauce?

The choice of starch for thickening sauces depends on various factors, including the desired consistency, flavor, and dietary preferences. There are some commonly used starches for thickening sauces: Tapioca starch, Corn starch, Potato starch,...

3. Benefits of using Tapioca Starch for sauce

Thickening agent

Modified tapioca starch can be used to increase the viscosity of sauce, giving it a smoother and more appealing texture. The starch particles hydrate and swell when mixed with water, forming a thick gel-like consistency. This helps to achieve the desired thickness and body in the ketchup.

Stabilizing agent

Modified tapioca starch can act as a stabilizer, preventing the separation of water and solid particles, thus maintaining the overall homogeneity and appearance of the sauce throughout its shelf life.

Improved heat stability

Modified tapioca starch is more resistant to heat and acidic conditions than native starch. This is particularly important during the manufacturing process of sauce, where the product is usually heated to achieve the desired consistency and to ensure microbiological safety.

Enhanced freeze-thaw stability

Modified tapioca starch can contribute to better freeze-thaw stability, reducing the risk of texture and quality changes that can occur during freezing and thawing of sauce.

Reduced syneresis

Syneresis refers to the release of water from a gel-like structure, resulting in the formation of liquid on the surface of the ketchup, chili sauce,.... Modified tapioca starch can help minimize syneresis, keeping the sauce more consistent and reducing the need for constant mixing or stirring.

4. What type of modified tapioca starch is used for sauce?

Exportvn Co., Ltd is a supplier of high quality tapioca starch in Vietnam. Tapioca starch for sauce includes 2 types: Hot water swelling (Cook up) and Cold water swelling.

E1422 - Acetylated Distarch Adipate Modified tapioca starch s specialized for producing sauces such as ketchup, chili sauce, mayonnaise,...

E1422 Hot Water Swelling (Cook up)

When E1422 is added to food products, it undergoes a process called "hot swelling," which means it absorbs water and swells when heated. This property makes it useful as a thickener and stabilizer in a variety of food applications, including sauces, soups, dressings, and desserts.

E1422 Cold Water Swelling

Cold swelling refers to the ability of modified starches like E1422 to thicken and form a gel when dispersed in cold water or other cold liquids. When E1422 comes into contact with cold liquid, it rapidly absorbs water and swells, resulting in increased viscosity and gel formation.

The cold swelling property of E1422 makes it particularly useful in applications where heat is not desirable or feasible, such as in the production of cold sauces, mayonnaise, salad dressings, or bakery fillings. It allows for the easy incorporation of the starch into the product without requiring high temperatures.
