Abstract
The present invention provides an efficient acid conversion process by which native and modified starches may be treated to afford products with low viscosity and a higher proportion of lower molecular weight compounds than the corresponding aqueous acid conversion processes. Such converted starches demonstrate unique properties and, accordingly, are useful in a variety of products.
