Is Modified Corn Starch Gluten Free?

Modified corn starch is typically gluten-free, as it is derived from corn which does not naturally contain gluten. However, it’s always important to check product labels or contact manufacturers to confirm, as there is a small risk of cross-contamination during processing in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains.

Benefits of Modified Corn Starch

Gluten-free: Safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity

Low in calories: Can be used as a low-calorie thickening agent

Easily digestible: Breaks down more readily than unmodified starches

Helps maintain blood sugar levels: Has a lower glycemic index compared to regular corn starch

Improves texture in foods: Can enhance mouthfeel and consistency in various products

Extends shelf life: Helps preserve food quality for longer periods

Allows for reduced fat content: Can be used as a fat replacer in some food products

Resists breakdown at high temperatures: Useful in cooking and food processing

Non-allergenic: Generally well-tolerated by most people

Provides dietary fiber: Some types of modified corn starch can act as a source of resistant starchIt’s important to note that while these points highlight potential benefits, modified corn starch is primarily a functional ingredient rather than a health food. Its main purpose is to improve food quality and manufacturing processes.

Who should avoid Modified Corn Starch

People with corn allergies: Modified corn starch is derived from corn, so those with corn allergies should avoid it.

Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: While corn itself is gluten-free, there’s a risk of cross-contamination during processing, so it’s best to choose certified gluten-free products.

Those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Modified corn starch is high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.

People with diabetes: Modified corn starch can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, so diabetics should consume it in moderation and under medical supervision.

Individuals with digestive sensitivities: Some people may experience bloating, gas, or other digestive issues when consuming modified corn starch.

Those seeking to avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs): Much of the corn used for modified starch is genetically modified, so those avoiding GMOs should look for organic or non-GMO certified products.

People on a whole foods or clean eating diet: Modified corn starch is a highly processed ingredient and may not align with these dietary approaches.

Individuals with certain rare metabolic disorders: Some metabolic conditions may require limiting or avoiding certain types of starches.Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian if you have concerns about consuming modified corn starch or any other food ingredient.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

 

Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

How Tolerase® G Works

It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can celiacs have modified food starch?
The safety of modified food starch for celiacs depends on its source. Modified food starch derived from wheat is not safe for those with celiac disease. However, modified food starch made from corn, potato, or other gluten-free sources is generally considered safe for celiacs. It's important for individuals with celiac disease to check labels carefully and consult with their doctor if unsure about a particular product.
What cornstarch is not gluten-free?
All pure cornstarch is naturally gluten-free. Cornstarch is made from corn, which does not contain gluten. However, some brands of cornstarch may be processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains, potentially leading to cross-contamination. To ensure a product is completely gluten-free, look for certified gluten-free labels or contact the manufacturer directly.
What is modified corn starch?
Modified corn starch is a food additive derived from corn starch that has been chemically or physically altered to enhance its properties. It is commonly used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, or texturizer in various food products. Modified corn starch can improve the texture, shelf life, and freeze-thaw stability of foods. It is generally recognized as safe by food regulatory agencies and is widely used in processed foods, sauces, and baked goods.
Can you be allergic to modified corn starch?
Yes, it is possible to be allergic to modified corn starch. While rare, some individuals may have a corn allergy that extends to modified corn starch products. Symptoms of such an allergy can range from mild to severe, including skin reactions, digestive issues, or respiratory problems. If you suspect an allergy to modified corn starch, it's important to consult with an allergist for proper diagnosis and management.
