What is it?
Acetylated distarch phosphate (INS 1414) is a starch first cross-linked (with phosphate) then acetylated (with acetic anhydride); it combines stability with a smooth texture and low gelatinisation temperature.

Consumer Advice
Acetylated distarch phosphate is a dual-modified starch made by acetylation and cross-linking, providing heat and acid resistance and preventing retrogradation. It is widely used as a thickener and stabilizer in baked goods, canned foods, sauces, dairy, and meat products. It is safe within approved limits; as it contains phosphate, people with kidney disease or phosphorus restrictions should moderate their intake.
