Corn Starch Food Grade is a fine, white, powdery carbohydrate extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels (Zea mays). It is a natural, tasteless, and odorless polysaccharide composed primarily of amylose and amylopectin. Corn starch is widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and binding agent in food products due to its excellent gelatinization properties. It serves as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in many culinary and industrial applications. Corn starch is valued for its versatility, digestibility, and neutral flavor profile, making it a staple ingredient in both home cooking and commercial food production.
