Pregelatinized Corn Starch is a modified starch produced by pre-gelatinizing native corn starch followed by drying and micronization. This process allows the material to swell instantly in cold water without heat, forming a viscous paste. The core molecular structure remains (C6H10O5)n. Its standard CAS number is 9005-25-8.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent caking or microbial growth. Maintain relative humidity below 60% to preserve flowability. While generally recognized as safe (GRAS), inhalation of dust should be avoided; use appropriate respiratory protection during bulk handling to prevent respiratory irritation.
