HYLON® VII is described as an unmodified corn starch derived from high amylose corn. This corn starch contains approximately 70% amylose. Amylose is known 
for its role in gelling, film-forming, and opacifying properties, which 
can be significant in various food applications. HYLON® VII starch is used in a variety of food applications. The 
specific mention of its excellent gelling, film-forming, and opacifying 
properties suggests that it can contribute to the texture, structure, 
and appearance of food products. The starch is noted for its excellent gelling properties. This indicates
 that it has the ability to form gels, which can be valuable in 
applications where thickening or gelling is desired. HYLON® VII starch is mentioned to have film-forming properties. 
Film-forming is relevant in applications where a thin layer or coating 
is desired, such as in certain confectionery or coating applications. pacifying properties suggest that the starch can contribute to the opacity or cloudiness of a product. The product is available under Ingredion Incorporated’s TRUETRACE® Identity Preserved Program for non-GM products.
