Maize Corn Starch

Maize Corn Starch is a highly versatile and purified carbohydrate derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. It appears as a fine, white, odorless powder with a neutral taste, making it an essential ingredient in various industries. In the food industry, it is widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and binding agent for soups, sauces, gravies, bakery items, and confectioneries. It enhances texture, consistency, and shelf life while maintaining a clean-label profile.

Beyond food, maize corn starch is integral to pharmaceuticals as a binding agent in tablet manufacturing, the textile industry for fabric sizing and finishing, and the paper industry for improving paper strength and smoothness. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in producing adhesives and eco-friendly bioplastics. With its high starch content, low moisture, and excellent functional properties, maize corn starch is a globally sought-after commodity, meeting the diverse needs of industrial and commercial applications
