Maize Starch

Introduction

Maize starch, derived from corn kernels, offers unparalleled versatility across various industries. With its low protein and ash contents, this carbohydrate-rich product finds widespread application due to its purity and diverse functionalities. Extracted through meticulous processes such as steeping, grinding, purification, and drying, maize starch showcases unique physio-chemical properties that can be tailored by adjusting production parameters. Notably, its viscosity, crucial in many applications, can be finely tuned by altering the pH level, giving rise to high viscosity starch ideal for textile sizing and beyond.
