Corn Starch is starch that is extracted from flat corn (Zea mays), which goes through a process of soaking (stepping), grinding (degerming), which then continues with the tapioca process as above, namely Wet Milling, which includes the extraction process (extraction), separation (separation/Concentration), washing (washing/refining), and continues to the drying process (dewatering & drying), then ends in packaging (bagging).
Corn starch has a wide variety of applications in various types of industries. In the food and beverage processing industry, Corn Starch is used as a thickener, filler and binder. This application is used universally in food processing such as corn sugar, cakes, and NDC.
