Native cornstarch is one of the most popular products of deep processing of corn. It is used as a functional ingredient in the food industry and as a processing material in a number of industrial processes.
What is native starch
Native starch is called starch isolated from grain and not chemically modified. After separation from other components of corn, it undergoes cleaning, dehydration and drying. The result is a homogeneous powdery product.
Its technological behavior depends on the recipe, temperature, concentration, acidity of the medium and the method of processing. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct production tests before industrial implementation.
Main functions in the recipe
- Viscosity and consistency control.
- Formation of the product structure after heating and cooling.
- Moisture retention in certain types of products.
- Creating homogeneity of sauces, fillings and other masses.
- Use as an auxiliary component in dry mixes.
Where is cornstarch used?
In the food industry, starch is used in the production of confectionery, pastries, sauces, jelly, dairy products, semi-finished products and dry mixes. In each case, it performs its own task: from thickening to the formation of the desired structure.
Technical native starch can be used in paper, textile, construction and other industries. Product requirements in the food and technical segments differ, so when ordering, it is necessary to specify the exact purpose.
What to consider when purchasing
It is important for the buyer to agree in advance on the specification, batch volume, packaging and storage conditions. The product must be protected from moisture and foreign odors. After delivery, it is recommended to follow the storage rules established by the manufacturer and the internal procedures of the enterprise.
For a new formulation, it is wise to start with a laboratory or pilot test. This allows you to determine the actual dosage and compare the result with the ingredient used.
