Native Corn Starch
Native corn starch is a fine, white to slightly cream-colored powder, odorless and neutral in taste. It is obtained by physically isolating starch from corn kernels, without chemical modification. It is characterized by stable thickening during cooking, formation of uniform suspensions and gels, and good stability across a wide range of food applications.
Source and Variants
Native corn starch is produced from selected corn varieties intended for industrial processing. The grain is milled, fibers, proteins, and germ are separated, and the starch fraction is washed, purified, and dried.
Typical supply forms include:
- Standard corn starch – for general use
- Finely milled starch – for faster dispersion
- Specially purified starch – with reduced protein and impurity content
