About Fermented wheat starch

Fermented wheat starch is starch from wheat that has undergone fermentation. The label identifies both its source and processing, but does not specify the organisms, fermentation conditions, or whether other ingredients are present.

It may be used as a starch ingredient in prepared foods, where its behavior depends on the product and processing. It is generally a fine, pale powder when supplied as a dry ingredient; the name alone does not establish its flavour or the final food’s texture.
