Acetylated distarch phosphate
Other names ADP starch, E1414
Acetylated distarch phosphate: low in salicylate and nickel. If you're sensitive to any of these, check it against your profile before eating.
Intolerances
- SalicylateLow
A modified starch thickener. Starch carries no salicylate; the level reflects additive-group membership.
- NickelLow
Acetylated distarch phosphate is starch treated with acetic and phosphoric reagents so it survives freezing and canning. Starch itself is one of the emptiest materials there is; the trace comes from the treatment. For this additive there is no legal nickel ceiling at all.

E1414 combines the two tricks - cross-linked for heat, acetylated for the cold - which is why it is the starch of chilled and frozen ready meals that must survive both. Two modifications, one unchanged backbone: still a polysaccharide, still not a short-chain sugar.

E1414 is cross-linked and acetylated at once - the starch of chilled ready meals. Both treatments act on how the granule behaves in water, and neither touches how many units the chain has.
