Maize Starch is an odourless, white powder with a bland taste. Corn is one of the
main sources of commercially produced starch which is the most important source
of carbohydrates in the human diet.
Chemically, starch is a carbohydrate. It is a polymer comprising of a range of
molecular sizes. The basic mononumeric unit of Danhydroglucose. The two basic
types of polymers present are amylose and amylopectins. Amylose is a linear
polymer in which essentially all of the anhyroglucose units are linked through 1,4-a
glucosidic bonds. Amylopectins have a highly branched structure.
They are larger polymers than amylose. Starch is essentially a group of
carbohydrates known as polysaccharides ie multiple molecules of sugar. It is a
mixture of two polysaccharides, amylose (10 - 20%) and amylopetin (80 - 90%).
Maize Starch, in its native and modified form is used extensively in the food,
pharmaceuticals, textile, paper, adhesive and a host of other industries.
Starch is also modified to suit the individual requirements of users and are hence
known as chemical starches. Maize Starch can also be converted into a range of
starch derivatives such as Liquid Glucose, Dextrose Monohydrate, Dextrose
Anhydrous, Maltodextrin, Sorbitol etc.
