Frequently asked questions
What is soluble starch commonly used for?
Soluble starch is widely used as a thickening agent in food products (e.g., sauces, gravies), as a sizing agent in textiles, and in laboratory applications like chromatography and microbiology.
What is the chemical formula and molecular weight of soluble starch?
The chemical formula is **(C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ**, but the exact molecular weight (MW) varies depending on the degree of polymerization (n).
How should soluble starch be stored?
Store in a cool, dry place at ambient temperature, away from moisture and strong odors to prevent clumping or degradation.
What grades of soluble starch does Molekula supply?
Molekula supplies **food-grade and industrial-grade soluble starch**, with specifications tailored to your application—confirm your needs for exact purity or particle size.
Can Molekula supply soluble starch in bulk quantities?
Yes, we offer bulk packaging options (e.g., 25kg bags, 1MT super sacks) for both food and industrial applications—contact us for custom quotes.
What documentation comes with a soluble starch order?
Each order includes a **Certificate of Analysis (CoA)**, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and batch-specific documentation for traceability and compliance.
