NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is dedicated to providing high-quality ingredients that meet the diverse needs of modern industries. Among our extensive portfolio, Starch Sodium Octenyl Succinate, often identified by its E-number E1450, stands out as a remarkably versatile modified starch. Understanding its core properties and the manufacturing processes behind it is key to appreciating its widespread utility.

Starch Sodium Octenyl Succinate is derived from natural starches, most commonly from sources like tapioca or corn. The modification process involves esterifying these starches with octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA). This chemical reaction alters the starch's molecular structure, significantly enhancing its ability to interact with both water and oil. This amphiphilic nature is the foundation of its effectiveness as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener. The manufacturing process is carefully controlled to ensure the highest purity and efficacy, adhering to stringent quality standards to meet the demands of various applications.

The primary functions of E1450 are rooted in its unique chemical characteristics. As an emulsifier, it helps to bridge the gap between oil and water phases in formulations, creating stable emulsions that do not separate over time. This is crucial in products like mayonnaise, dressings, and certain cosmetic creams. Its role as a stabilizer prevents undesirable changes in texture and consistency, maintaining product integrity throughout its shelf life. Furthermore, its thickening properties allow for the adjustment of viscosity in liquids and semi-liquids, contributing to the desired mouthfeel in food products and the desired consistency in cosmetic lotions.

The applications of E1450 span across multiple sectors. In the food industry, it is widely used in dairy products, beverages, baked goods, confectionery, and sauces. For instance, it improves the texture of low-fat mayonnaise, enhances the stability of fruit preparations in yogurts, and helps create smooth, consistent textures in ice creams and desserts. In the cosmetic industry, it acts as a texturizer and absorbent, contributing to the sensory appeal and performance of skincare and makeup products. While less common, its potential as a controlled-release agent in pharmaceuticals is also being explored, showcasing its broad applicability.

The safety and regulatory status of E1450 are well-established. It is approved for use in many regions worldwide and is considered safe for consumption when used within specified limits. This widespread acceptance underscores its reliability as a functional ingredient. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that all our Starch Sodium Octenyl Succinate products comply with international food and cosmetic safety standards, providing our clients with confidence in their formulations. The demand for such functional ingredients highlights the continuous innovation within the chemical industry, driving product development and consumer satisfaction.
