In order to improve the stability of maize beverage, modified starch is added as the stabilizer. Investigations have been made to study the impact of three kinds of modified starches with one-factor and orthogonal experiment. Results showed that the maize beverage can be improved with 0.8% hydroxypropyl composite modified starch, 0.8% cassava modified starch and 0.6% hydroxypropyl octenylsuccinate esterification starch, and lowered centrifugal sedimentation. The order of the impact of these three modified starches from high to low is: hydroxypropyl composite modified starch, hydroxypropyl octenylsuccinate esterification starch and cassava modified starch.
