E1422 - Acetylated distarch adipate
By the Daat team · Updated October 30, 2026
E1422 is a modified starch that stays stable through cooking and freezing.
Ordinary starch tends to split and weep after freezing or reheating; this modified version does not, so it is common in sauces, salads and yoghurts.
In Daat’s catalog we found E1422 in 304 of 16,831 products (1.8%), mostly in sauces, spreads and salads and yoghurts and dairy desserts.
