# Commission Implementing Decision of 5 August 2011 authorising the placing on the market of phosphated maize starch as a novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (notified under document C(2011) 5550) (Text with EEA relevance) (2011/494/EU), Annex: SPECIFICATIONS OF PHOSPHATED MAIZE STARCH

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

Description The novel food ingredient is a white or nearly white powder.
Phosphated maize starch (phosphated distarch phosphate) is a chemically modified resistant starch derived from high amylose starch by combining chemical treatments to create phosphate cross-links between carbohydrate residues and esterified hydroxyl groups.
