Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the production of a starch dispersible in boiling water by heat treatment in the presence of water and an emulsifier. A mixture of starch, an emulsifier containing at least one fatty acid monoester in a quantity of from 1 to 5% by weight of fatty acid monoester, based on the dry weight of the starch, and water is prepared in such a way that the water content of the mixture amounts to between 20 and 30% by weight, and the mixture is heat-treated for 1 to 20 mins at a temperature of 90.degree. to 120.degree. C. to obtain a starch showing 95 to 100% dispersibility in boiling water.
