What food contains starch?
Starch is often found in the fruit, seeds, rhizomes or tubers of plants and is the major source of energy in these food items. The major resources for starch production and consumption worldwide are rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes. Cooked foods containing starches include boiled rice, various forms of bread and noodles (including pasta). As an additive for food processing, arrowroot and tapioca are commonly used as well. Commonly used starches around the world are: arracacha, buckwheat, banana, barley, cassava, kudzu, oca, sago, sorghum, regular household potatoes, sweet potato, taro and yams. Edible beans, such as favas, lentils and peas, are also rich in starch. When a starch is pre-cooked, it can then be used to thicken cold foods. This is referred to as a pregelatinized starch. Otherwise starch requires heat to thicken, or "gelatinize."[vague]The actual temperature depends on the type of starch. A modified food starch undergoes one or more chemical modifications, which allow it to function properly under high heat and/or shear frequently encountered during food processing. Food starches are typically used as thickeners and stabilizers in foods such as puddings, custards, soups, sauces, gravies, pie fillings, and salad dressings, but have many other uses. Resistant starch is starch that escapes digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals. Plants use starch as a way to store excess glucose, and thus also use starch as food during mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.

What is modified food starch made from?
MFS can be any food starch, such as potato, corn, wheat or any other starch. It is modified by treating with acid to produce different cooking properties. One common example is instant pudding. The starch has been modified to thicken without the addition of heat.There is no requirement that the source of the starch be specified on the label, but the manufacturer may be able to identify it if required. Since the manufacturer purchases MFS from milling companies like Con-Agra and ADM in large sacks, they may not know what the MFS actually contains.
