To inexpensively and easily provide a modified starch having a novel property.A modified starch of which a particle diameter distribution waveform exhibits a single peak, wherein a 10 mass % paste liquid of the modified starch has an RVA peak viscosity that is 5% or less of the RVA peak viscosity of an unmodified starch serving as a raw material, and the difference between the maximum particle diameter and the minimum particle diameter is 2 μm or less. The modified starch is suitable for use as a food additive, a food texture improvement agent, a base material for powderization, a binder additive, a paper-making additive, a building material additive, etc. |
