Wheat starch is widely used in the food industry as a thickener, substitute for flour, etc. It is the second most produced starch in Europe after the corn starch.

Wheat starch is obtained with a grinding procedure and is commonly used in the food and cosmetics fields.

Wheat starch modified with succinic acid or azelaic acid has potential applications for systems where high stability is required during storage (low retrogradation) along with high pulp viscosity (1).

Food:

It depends a lot on the percentages of amylose and amylopectin, generally not declared by the producers, two components with different characteristics. Amylose allows better cooking of food. Amylopectin, which has a very high glycemic value and low nutritional value, can lead to weight gain.

Thickening agent for biscuits, creams, puddings, béchamel etc.
