Acetylated starch
Other names Starch acetate, E1420
Acetylated starch: no notable intolerance on record.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsNone
E1420 is starch with acetyl groups attached, which stops it turning grainy in the fridge - the reason a ready-made sauce is still smooth on the second day. Acetylation changes how the chains pack together, not how long they are, and length is what this axis is about.
- LactoseFODMAPsNone
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)None
- GlutenNo
- FructoseFODMAPsNone
- OligosaccharidesFODMAPsNone
E1420 hangs acetyl groups off the chain to keep a sauce smooth when chilled. An acetyl group weighs almost nothing next to the polysaccharide it sits on, and it does not break a single glucose-to-glucose bond.
