Maize Starch in Food Industry:

Having found its way into the food industry, maize starch has been used as a thickener, binder, emulsifier and texture enhancer. As a binding agent, it helps in thickening sauces, gravies and soups. It is used as a texture enhancer in foods and beverages. Usually mixed with a cold liquid to create a slurry and then added with a hot liquid to thicken, it forms a translucent mixture. 

Since it is devoid of proteins, fats, and fibres, it is gluten-free. As a result, it is widely used in the gluten-free baking of bread, confectionaries, pasta, etc.

Maize starch is also a thickening and stabilising agent in canned and frozen foods. It helps enhance dairy and confectionery products’ viscosity, thickness and smoothness.
