The most physically modified starch produced nowadays is the thermal-treated or pregelatinized starch. These instant starches are hydrosoluble even in cold water and are frequently used as thickeners in foods that receive minimal heat processing. Pregelatinization methods include drum drying, spray cooking, solvent-based processing, and extrusion (Thomas and Atwell 1999). Most instant starch processes... 

Starch uses are traditionally split into food and nonfood, or into native, modified and hydrolyzed starches, starch sugars and fermentation products (- starch EU market, - starch industry, world). Strongest growth is in -> starch hydrolysis products for bulk sweeteners as well as for sugars as C-source in fermentation processes to produce solvents, starting and auxiliary materials for chemical reactions and for fuel ethanol (gasohol). Special starches for traditional application (paper and board processing, textile improvement, binders and others) ftirthermore will make up more than 30% of the entire industrial starch demand.
