What is it?
Monostarch phosphate (starch sodium phosphate, INS 1410) is a chemically modified starch produced by esterifying native starch with phosphates (e.g. sodium trimetaphosphate, monosodium phosphate); it carries negative charges and gains higher viscosity and freeze-thaw stability.

In a nutshell
Monostarch phosphate is a phosphate-esterified modified starch with good viscosity and freeze-thaw stability, safe with no ADI.
Consumer Advice
Monostarch phosphate is a starch modified with phosphate, swelling in cold water with a low gelatinisation temperature. It is widely used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer in meat products, sauces, dairy, and baked goods. It is safe within approved limits; because it contains phosphate, people with kidney disease or those who must limit phosphorus should moderate their intake.
