Functional classEmulsifier, Stabilizer, Thickener
Year adopted1965
Approved byAustralia/New Zealand (FSANZ), European Union (EFSA)

What is it? ​

Phosphated distarch phosphate (INS 1413) is a starch modified both by cross-linking and phosphate esterification, combining the stability of cross-linking with the water-holding and freeze-thaw stability of phosphate esters.

Source ​

Natural:玉米、马铃薯等食用淀粉 + 食品级磷酸盐

Why is it used? ​

  • Maintains viscosity stability under harsh processing
  • Improves water-holding and freeze-thaw stability
  • Used in canned, frozen and acidic foods
  • Thickener and stabiliser
  • Enhances texture and mouthfeel

Common Foods ​

  • Canned and prepared foods
  • Frozen foods
  • Sauces and soups
  • Dairy products
  • Meat products
  • Bakery products

Safety ​

ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake):Not applicable (evaluated, no limit set)

Concerns:

  • 须控制残留磷酸盐
  • 糖尿病人须计入碳水化合物

Usage Standard ​

China:GB 2760《食品安全国家标准 食品添加剂使用标准》;GB 29950 食品安全国家标准 食品添加剂 改性淀粉

International:

  • EU Regulation 1333/2008 Annex II (E 1413)
  • FDA 21 CFR 172.892 (modified starches, phosphated distarch phosphate)
  • Codex GSFA (INS 1413)
  • FSANZ Food Standards Code (1413)
  • JECFA Monograph (Phosphated distarch phosphate)

In a nutshell ​

Phosphated distarch phosphate is a dual cross-linked/phosphated modified starch with excellent stability and water-holding, safe with no ADI.

Consumer Advice ​

Phosphated distarch phosphate is a dual-modified starch combining phosphorylation and cross-linking, offering heat and acid resistance plus good freeze-thaw stability. It is used as a thickener and stabilizer in frozen foods, canned foods, sauces, and meat products. It is safe within approved limits; because it contains phosphate, people with kidney disease or who must limit phosphorus should consume it in moderation.
