Enzyme-treated starches
Other names Enzymatic starch, E1405
Enzyme-treated starches: no notable intolerance on record.
Intolerances
- FODMAPsNone
E1405 is starch broken down by enzymes rather than by acid or bleach, and it appears mostly in confectionery and in the coating of some sweets. Enzymatic breakdown is how your own amylase works on starch too - which is the whole point: this is a carbohydrate the small intestine handles, not one the colon has to ferment.
- LactoseFODMAPsNone
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)None
- GlutenNo
- FructoseFODMAPsNone
- OligosaccharidesFODMAPsNone
E1405 is the one cut on purpose: enzymes shorten the starch into malto-oligosaccharides, which are genuinely three to ten units long. They still do not count, because their bonds are alpha-1,4 - the linkage human maltase is built for - so they are digested rather than fermented.
