Results for tag: "Octenyl Succinct Anhydride Modified Starch"

The Octenyl Succinic Anhydride (OSA) modified starch market, within the context of animal feedstuffs, pertains to the application of a chemically modified starch in animal nutrition. OSA modified starches are used to enhance the functional properties of feeds, including improving pellet durability and water stability. These starches can serve as emulsifiers that aid in the even dispersion of fats and oils in feed, which is critical in the production of high-energy diets for livestock. The modification of starch through reaction with octenyl succinic anhydride results in a product that can effectively encapsulate flavorings and active ingredients, promoting palatability and ensuring controlled release in feed applications. Due to the various advantages they offer, OSA-modified starches have found relevance in the formulation of feeds for aquaculture, poultry, swine, and ruminant animals, among others. Several companies are recognized in the market for the provision of OSA-modified starch for animal feedstuffs. Some of these include Ingredion Incorporated, ADM (Archer Daniels Midland Company), Cargill Incorporated, Roquette Frères, and Avebe. These companies offer a range of modified starch products tailored to meet specific nutritional and functional requirements of the animal feed industry. Show Less Read more
