So, what is amidon transformés?

"Amidon transformés" is a French term that translates to "modified starches" in English. This ingredient is commonly used in the food industry as a thickening, stabilizing, or binding agent. Modified starches are derived from natural starches like corn, tapioca, or potato, which are chemically altered to improve their functionality. These modifications can include physical or chemical treatments such as acid hydrolysis, cross-linking, or esterification. Modified starches are a versatile ingredient that can be found in a wide range of food products, including baked goods, sauces, soups, and beverages.
