The present invention is directed to a process of preparing starch phosphate monoesters, optionally in the presence of oligosaccharides, having improved reaction efficiency and reduced side reactions. The invention also includes the improved starch phosphate monoester products, characterized by high viscosity and low level of residual salts, their use in food and the enhanced food compositions prepared from them.

The present invention is directed to cold water swellable starches exhibiting delayed viscosity development, preparation and use thereof. The cold water swellable starches are prepared using methods known in the art and then are compacted. These starches provide all the advantages of CWS starch, including texture, heavy body, glossy sheen, and viscosity. However, the rate of hydration may be controlled to delay viscosity development. Such starches may be used for a variety of industrial applications including food products, personal care products, cleansers, liquid detergents and fabric softeners, oil-well drilling, and paints and allow for easier processing of such products.

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.
