Starch succinate
Starch succinates are derivatives of starch which belong to the starch esters .
Manufacturing
Starch succinates are produced by reacting starch with succinic anhydride in a polymer-analogous reaction . Since not all hydroxyl groups react in this reaction , mixtures are formed with different degrees of substitution . The degree of substitution of the individual starch components within a polymer can also vary.
application
They prove to be good stabilizers as well as good emulsifiers and are suggested for stabilizing the aroma of foods.
