About this food additive - Cornstarch

Description

Cornstarch is a carbohydrate extracted from the endosperm of maize (corn) kernels and is widely used in the food industry as a thickening and stabilising agent. It is valued for its ability to form smooth, consistent textures in sauces, soups, and desserts.
Its use dates back centuries, with large-scale industrial production developing alongside advances in corn processing. When heated in the presence of water, cornstarch undergoes gelatinisation, increasing viscosity and creating a thickened mixture.

It is insoluble in cold water but disperses easily and becomes highly effective when heated. Cornstarch is neutral in taste, making it suitable for a wide range of applications without altering flavour.

It is stable under normal storage conditions and can be combined with other ingredients to improve texture, consistency, and stability in food products.
