  1. 1. STARCH Corn starch, also known as maize starch, is produced by of corn wet milling processing. It is basically created from of the endosperm of corn. Cornstarch is versatile, easily modified, and has many uses in the industry such as adhesives, in paper products, as an anti-sticking agent, and textile manufacturing as a thickener in food as well as beverages. It has medical uses as well.

  2. 2. LIQUID GLUCOSE Liquid glucose also is known as, corn syrup, is made from corn starch. It’s used primarily as a sweetener in beverages and food. Liquid glucose is obtained when corn starch is combined with enzymes to break down the chains into glucose or sugars. Liquid glucose comes in many forms and each one has a different use depending on how many total solids (Brix) are present.

  3. 3. LIQUID SORBITOL 70% SOLUTION Sorbitol, a polyol also know as sugar alcohol or D- glucitol, is a bulk sweetener and can be used as a substitute for sucrose and meets organoleptic (sweetening) and dietetic requirements (sugar-free, low-calorie, non-cariogenic) and may be advised for diabetics. Sorbitol is majorly being used in mouthwash and toothpaste. It is also often used in modern cosmetics as a humectant and thickener. In Pharmaceuticals, it is used as an excipient for pan-coating and in biopharmaceutical application as protein stabilizers and as an excipient for injectable dosage forms.
