- Features and Benefits
- In comparison to regular dent corn starch which contains approximately 28% amylose, HYLON® VII starch is a corn hybrid containing approximately 70% amylose. Amylose, a linear polymer, can closely align or associate through hydrogen bonding. This characteristic of amylose is primarily responsible for the gelling and film-forming ability of starches.
- Since HYLON® VII starch contains approximately twice as much amylose as regular corn starch it can form more rigid gels and contribute to the formation of stronger, tougher films.
- HYLON® VII starch requires higher cooking temperatures than conventional corn starch to adequately gelatinize.Super atmospheric cooking temperatures are required, typically 310-340°F (154-171°C) depending on the solids level of the formulation being used.

- Microbiological Limits
Initial testing is done on a single composite sample against a limit of m. If result is above m, the three class sampling and acceptance below is used.
