Dornesha Oxidized starches are produced by different starches with the aid of sodium hypochlorite under a certain controlled condition. oxidized starches have shorter chain lengths than native starches. It reduces microbiological content. In addition, the hydrogen bonding reduces the tendency to retro-gradation. Producing soft- bodied gels of high clarity, oxidized starches are the best thickener for applications requiring gels of low rigidity. This improves adhesion in batters and breading. Diluted solutions of highly oxidized starches remain clear on prolonged storage, making them suitable for clear, canned soups and transparent confectionery products. oxidized starch is also widely used in surface sizing for paper industry and for warp sizing in textile industry.
