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