    Starch is a carbohydrate polymer consisting of a large number of glucose units linked together primarily by alpha 1-4 glucosidic bonds. The starch polymers come in two forms: linear (amylose) and branched through alpha 1-6 glucosidic bonds (amylopectin), with each glucose unit possessing a maximum of three hydroxyls that can undergo chemical substitution. Enzyme-treated starch is a modified starch. It is obtained by treatment in accordance with good manufacturing practice, of food starch in an a queous solution at a temperature below the gelatinization point with one or more food-grade amyolyticenzymes.The alteration is a minor fragmentation.

    Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide gum with high molecular weight (of the order of 1,000 kDa.) containing D-glucose and D-mannose as the dominant hexose units, along with D-glucuronic acid and pyruvic acid. It is produced by fermentation of a carbohydrate in a pure-culture of Xanthomonas campestris, recovered from the fermentation broth by precipitation with ethanol or isopropanol, dried and milled. The final product is manufactured in the form of a sodium, potassium or calcium salt and its solutio ns are neutral.
