Maize starch, also commonly known as corn starch, has the chemical formula (C6H10O5)n. It is a fundamental ingredient in most packaged food and industrial products. Maize starch in natural, modified, pre-gelatinized, and dextrinized forms provides viscosity, texture, and other desired properties to all types of food & paper, products from canned chilled frozen to microwaveable goods, dry mixes, and extruded snacks. Starch is the starting material for manufacturing starch derivatives, which is often obtained from maize. Practically every industry in existence uses starch or its derivatives in one form or another.
Maize starch is extracted from the white heart of the corn kernel and has a distinctive appearance and feed. Other sources of starch include potatoes, wheat, tapioca, and rice.
