Industrial Applications of Bulk Corn Starch

Cornstarch powder is incredibly versatile and has more uses than you might think.

The most common use for cornstarch is as a thickener for gravies, sauces, and soups. Cornstarch is actually a more efficient thickener than flour. You can actually use half the amount to achieve the same effect.

Also, in the food industry, cornstarch can also be used as a batter for fried foods, or a primary ingredient in baking, especially with shortbreads. Even though cornstarch is not a sweetener, it can be used to create corn syrup.

Cornstarch is also used to make paper, adhesives, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical supplies. Beyond that, you can actually find cornstarch used in other applications such as oil, textile, laundry, and more.

Cornstarch is used more than other starches due to the abundance of corn available to create cornstarch. This makes it easier to produce in bulk, a handy concept for many industries who require this vital ingredient.

Cornstarch vs Corn Flour: What's the Difference?

Although both products are made from corn, they serve different purposes and have very different appearances, taste, textures, and nutritional profiles.

Some countries outside of the United States use the two terms interchangeably. You'll know you're buying corn flour because of its pale yellow color and thicker texture. Cornstarch, on the other hand, is a fine white powder.

Corn flour is often used as a gluten-free substitute for regular flour, while cornstarch powder is usually just strictly used as a thickening agent in food processing. Since corn flour is made using the entire corn kernel, it has more nutrients than cornstarch.
