Answer 2

Modified starch is actually a name added to any starch which has been altered (or "modified") so that is has more desirable properties. E.g "thickens at a lower temperature", or "doesn't taste floury" etc...

However, what all modified starches have in common is that they are used as thickeners (or occasionally emulsifiers). Typically they are used to thicken sauces (such as custard or gravy) or "instant" foods (e.g cuppa soup, Hot Chocolate, and other things which you just add hot water/hot milk to).

Modified starches are a surprisingly useful group of foods, since even a tiny amount can make quite a difference to the "mouthfeel" (or texture) of a dish. They can be used to create a taste of richness and smoothness but without the calories.
