Application

Application and details of organic corn starch native

Corn originated in Mexico, but is now produced worldwide. The starch contained in corn is created by the plants as an energy reserve in the cells. Corn starch is obtained in a complex process involving several steps. First, the corn is swollen in water and, after several days, finely ground. Then the fibers are separated and the starch fraction is separated from the gluten fraction. This is followed by several cleaning and drying steps. Starch can generally be extracted from all starch-containing plants. Corn, potato, wheat and rice are most commonly used for starch extraction due to their high starch content.

Corn starch is often referred to as food starch. However, you can also replace food starch or corn starch with potato starch and wheat starch (depending on your recipe, of course). The various types of starch differ only in their composition. Starch always consists of a mixture of the carbohydrates amylopectin and amylose.
