Description
Corn starch is a carbohydrate extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is a fine, white powder commonly used in cooking and baking as a thickening agent for sauces, gravies, soups, and stews. Corn starch can be used in both commercial food production and home cooking because it forms a clear, translucent gel when mixed with water and heated.
Corn starch is preferred for its neutral flavour, which makes it an ideal thickening agent as it does not alter the taste of the food. However, it must be adequately cooked to eliminate a raw taste and achieve the desired thickening effect. Corn starch’s long chains of glucose molecules swell and unravel when heated, thickening the liquid they are suspended in.
Our corn starch is extracted from the endosperm of specially selected corn kernels and processed to preserve its natural properties and exceptional purity. With its fine, white, powdery texture and neutral flavour, our corn starch is the perfect thickening agent for a wide array of applications, ensuring consistency, clarity, and quality in your products. Beyond its culinary uses, our corn starch serves as a component in manufacturing biodegradable plastics, adhesives, and cosmetics, offering a sustainable option for diverse industrial applications.
