Manufacturing modified starch using starch as raw material is one of the major branches in the field of starch deep processing. As a functional raw material widely used in various industries, modified starch plays a very important role in reducing production costs, improving product quality and grade, and developing new products. It is referred to as the "sunrise industry" or "gold industry" in some countries and has entered the high-tech field. Today, Shandong Fupeng Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of modified starch, will introduce its development background to you.
There is a long history of research and production of modified starch abroad, starting from the 18th century and having a history of about 300 years, but the development of starch modification technology was slow at that time.
After World War II, with the continuous development of science and technology, as well as the deepening of people's understanding of the function of modified starch, research on modified starch has also rapidly developed. The types of modified starch studied have greatly increased, and the application fields have continuously expanded.
The development of modified starch in China began in the 1980s, with a relatively late start and low production capacity. The variety and quality of products cannot meet domestic demand, and the market supply mainly relies on imports.
Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has grown rapidly, and the scale of industrial products has continued to expand. The demand for modified starch will also continue to increase. Currently, China has developed and launched over 2000 types of modified starch products, including oxidized starch, acid modified starch, cationic starch, cyclodextrin, dialdehyde starch, etc.
The introduction of the national standard for modified starch in 2013 effectively promoted the development of the edible modified starch industry. The introduction of policies encouraged the industry to carry out research and development of new materials, processes, and products, accelerated the adjustment and transformation of the industry structure, and promoted the healthy and rapid development of the industry.
