General Description
Octenylsuccinic Anhydride (OSA) is a chemical compound commonly used in food industry as a modified starch. It improves the quality and stability of processed and fried foods, beverages, and bakery mixes. OSA is synthesized from the reaction between maleic anhydride and octenol, then it is used to modify the starch in order to give it a lipophilic nature, which allows the starch to be easily dissolved in cold water. Despite its prevalent use in food industry, it is considered safe with its low toxicity level and is often used within set legal limits. Properly regulated usage of OSA doesn't pose a threat to human health.
