PREGEL E1422
PREGELATINIZED TAPIOCA STARCH
ACETYLATED DISTARCH ADIPATE, also known as E1422, is a modified form of PreGelatinized Starch derived from tapioca starch that has been treated with acetic anhydride and adipic acid anhydride. This versatile ingredient serves as a bulking agent and food thickener in various applications.

PREGEL!
E1422, commonly known as PreGelatinized Starch, is used as a food additive primarily functioning as a bulking agent, thickener, and stabilizer. This versatile ingredient enhances the stability of starches against high temperatures, acidic conditions, and mechanical shear, making it an ideal food thickener for processed foods such as sauces, soups, dairy products, frozen foods, and baked goods. It effectively improves texture, viscosity, and shelf life without causing gelling or syneresis (liquid separation).
Key properties:
- **Chemical Structure**: Esterification replaces hydroxyl groups with acetyl esters, and cross-linking with adipic anhydride forms stable bonds (Starch-O-CO-(CH2)4-CO-O-Starch).
- **Functional Benefits**: High thickening capacity, freeze-thaw stability, transparency, and resistance to retrogradation (starch gelation after cooling).
- **Applications**: Commonly used in ketchup, yogurt, sausages, canned foods, and even non-food industries like cosmetics and biodegradable plastics.
- **Safety**: E1422 is approved for food use under good manufacturing practices (GMP).

**Key Thickening Properties**: - **Viscosity Control**: E1422, a type of PreGelatinized Starch, acts as an effective food thickener, forming smooth, stable gels or thickened solutions that do not break down during cooking or freezing. - **Clarity and Texture**: This bulking agent produces clear, glossy textures, enhancing the appearance of sauces, gravies, and soups. - **Freeze-Thaw Stability**: E1422 maintains consistency in frozen or refrigerated products, preventing separation or syneresis. - **Acid Resistance**: It is effective in low-pH foods, such as salad dressings or fruit-based products. **Common Uses**: - It is widely used in sauces, soups, and gravies (e.g., ketchup, pasta sauces). - Dairy products like yogurts and custards benefit from its thickening properties. - Processed meats, including sausages and fillings, utilize this bulking agent for improved binding and texture. - Canned and frozen foods rely on E1422 to maintain uniformity during storage and reheating. E1422 is highly valued for its ability to create a consistent, appealing mouthfeel while withstanding harsh processing conditions, making it a versatile thickener in industrial and commercial food production.

**Key Stabilizing Properties**: - **Emulsion Stability**: Prevents separation of water and oil phases in emulsions, ensuring uniform texture in products like salad dressings and mayonnaise. - **Freeze-Thaw Stability**: Maintains structural integrity in frozen or refrigerated foods, preventing syneresis (liquid separation) in items like frozen desserts or ready meals. - **Heat and Acid Resistance**: Retains stability during high-temperature processing (e.g., pasteurization, cooking) and in acidic environments, such as fruit-based fillings or sauces. - **Texture Preservation**: Prevents retrogradation (starch recrystallization) during storage, keeping products like sauces and custards smooth and consistent over time. **Common Uses as a Stabilizer**: - **Sauces and Gravies**: Maintains smooth consistency in products like tomato sauce or cream-based gravies during cooking and storage. - **Dairy Products**: Stabilizes yogurts, puddings, and custards, preventing curdling or phase separation. - **Frozen and Canned Foods**: Ensures uniformity in frozen meals, canned soups, or fruit fillings by resisting breakdown during temperature fluctuations. - **Beverages**: Stabilizes suspensions in certain fruit juices or dairy-based drinks, preventing sedimentation. Acetylated distarch adipate (E1422), known for its properties as a bulking agent and food thickener, enhances resistance to heat, acid, and mechanical shear, making it ideal for maintaining the stability and consistency of various food products under challenging processing and storage conditions. Additionally, PreGelatinized Starch and tapioca starch serve as effective stabilizers to further improve texture and stability.

**Key Properties as a Bulking Agent**: - **Volume Enhancement**: As a bulking agent, it increases the physical bulk of food products, enhancing texture and mouthfeel, especially in low-fat or low-sugar foods where it compensates for reduced ingredients. - **Low Caloric Contribution**: It adds minimal calories compared to fats or sugars, making it ideal for diet or reduced-calorie products. - **Texture and Structure**: This food thickener contributes to a smooth, cohesive texture, enhancing the sensory experience in products like baked goods or processed foods. - **Stability**: It maintains structural integrity under varying conditions (e.g., heat, freezing, or acidic environments), ensuring consistent volume and texture during processing and storage. **Common Uses as a Bulking Agent**: - **Low-Fat Products**: E1422 is used in reduced-fat spreads, dressings, or dairy alternatives to mimic the mouthfeel of fat. - **Baked Goods**: PreGelatinized starch adds volume to low-calorie breads, cakes, or pastries, improving structure without adding significant calories. - **Confectionery**: It enhances bulk in reduced-sugar candies or chewing gums. - **Processed Foods**: Tapioca starch provides body to sauces, soups, or ready-to-eat meals, especially in formulations with reduced solids. Acetylated distarch adipate (E1422) functions as a bulking agent in food products by adding volume and bulk without significantly altering flavor or nutritional content. Its modified starch structure makes it suitable for this role, particularly in low-calorie or reduced-fat formulations.
