{TAIL ~ A free flowing, hydrophobic starch composition} has a near neutral dry product pH. Methods for making the hydrophobic starch composition by preparing an aqueous mixture comprising a starch, {HEAD ~ a siliconate}, and an acid, where the aqueous mixture has a near neutral pH, and drying the starch solids to obtain a hydrophobic starch
