Corn starch is the starch extracted from
corn (corn seed). Corn starch is usually extracted from the starch granules of
maize through the processing and separation processes.
Chemical composition: The main component of
corn starch is starch molecules, which are polysaccharide compounds composed of
glucose molecules. Unlike the traditional nonsexual starch, the starch molecule
in maize starch has a degree of branching in structure, which gives it special
properties.
Corn
starch has many applications in food and industrial fields, including but not
limited to:
1, food manufacturing industry: used as a
food thickener, and gel agent and stabilizer. It is often used to make sauces,
soups, pudding, jelly, pastries, noodles, etc., giving the food the desired
texture and taste.
2, industrial use: in the pulp and paper
industry, corn starch can be used as a thickener and adhesive to improve the
texture and printing properties of paper.
3. Pharmaceutical industry: In the
pharmaceutical field, corn starch can be used as a molding agent for tablets to
help maintain the shape and stability of the tablets.
4, textile industry: used as a paste for
textiles to increase the softness and texture of textiles.
Overall, cornstarch is a special starch
extracted from maize and is widely used for its unique properties in food and
industry. It plays an important role in thickening, cementing and stabilizing
in many fields.
