What is Corn Starch?
Also known as Maize Starch, Corn Starch is a white to off-white powder manufactured from the endosperm of maize kernels. It has been used for decades, starting initially as an industrial additive before gradually expanding into its now primary niche of food manufacture.
It is most commonly used today as a thickening agent. As such, you can find this in foods due to their comparatively inexpensive cost. As a result, it is ideal for products such as soups, sauces, gravies and beyond. What makes Corn Starch more appealing is that it does not make your final product cloudy and translucent as standard flours can do.
Beyond thickening, you can see the use of Corn Starch in a range of other food applications. Whether an anticaking agent in powdered sugars or even as a bulking agent for yoghurts and cheeses, Corn Starch is a valuable ingredient in your ingredients arsenal.
Other industries also use corn starch, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and even industrial manufacturers. You can find it as the critical component in baby powders, blood sugar maintenance, an anti-stick agent for latex and even as a starching agent in laundrettes.
