Product definition

What is corn starch?

Corn starch is a functional powder obtained from corn and used in many food formulations. Depending on the selected grade, it may contribute to texture, binding, viscosity or product consistency. Its behaviour is influenced by the process, temperature, pH, shear and the other components in the recipe. Bia Négoce helps clarify the application before directing the search towards an appropriate grade and professional format.

Selection guidance

Select the reference from the actual application.

Selection starts with the target texture, incorporation method and process constraints. The application, cooking, cooling, storage and final use should be described before comparing references. The final grade and use level must be confirmed through supplier documentation and a trial in the actual formulation.

Key points

A reference to qualify against your process.

The benefits below are indicative. Final characteristics depend on the selected reference, supplier and actual conditions of use.

Texture

May contribute to the consistency of selected preparations.

Binding
