The invention relates to a method of producing a heat-modified starch comprising the steps of: (i) preparing a starch milk containing between 30 and 40% by weight, preferably between 35 and 37% by weight, solid matter, (ii) adding a powdery alkaline agent such as to obtain a final conductivity of between 0.7 and 2.5 mS/cm, (iii) ensuring a contact time of between 0.5 and 5 hours, (iv) filtering and drying the starch milk, (v) and heating the dried starch to bring it to a temperature of more than 180° C. for a dwell time of between 8 and 50 minutes, preferably between 10 and 40 minutes, even more preferably between 12 and 35 minutes. |
