[Problem] To provide, at low cost with ease, a modified starch having a novel property.[Solution] A modified starch showing a particle-diameter distribution waveform with a single peak, wherein the difference between the maximum particle diameter and the minimum particle diameter is 2 µm or less. A 10% mass solution of the modified starch has an RVA peak viscosity which is 5% or less of the RVA peak viscosity of an unmodified starch used as a raw material therefor. This modified starch is suitable for use as an additive for foods, a texture improver for foods, a base for powderization, an additive for binders, an additive for papermaking, an additive for building materials, etc. |
