Corn Starch
Request specification ↓
Description
Corn Starch is a carbohydrate polymers-based powder extracted from the endosperm (the starchy inner core) of corn kernels. It is a highly refined, ultra-fine white powder that is completely odorless and tasteless. When mixed with cold liquids, it forms a slurry; when heated in the presence of moisture, its starch granules undergo gelatinization—swelling up to absorb liquid and creating a smooth, stable gel or paste.
