Octenyl succinic anhydride (Cat No.:I043569) is a chemical compound commonly used as a modifier for starch and other polysaccharides. It reacts with hydroxyl groups in starch to create hydrophobic derivatives that improve water resistance and emulsifying properties. OSA-modified starches are widely used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries to enhance texture, stability, and dispersibility. In food applications, it functions as a stabilizer and emulsifier, while in cosmetics, it helps in improving the stability and texture of creams, lotions, and other formulations. OSA is also used in biopolymer and packaging material development.
