A white, tasteless, odorless carbohydrate extracted from the kernels of corn or maize, maize starch power is widely used as a stiffening agent and a thickener with many industrial applications.

  2. Industry wise Applications of maize starch Maize starch powder has a wealth of uses across a variety of industries. From pharmaceutical and paper, to adhesives and food, this versatile starch is an important part of many industries’ manufacturing processes.

  3. Food & Beverage Industry Most commonly known as corn starch, maize starch is used in Bakery industry, as well as thickening sauces, puddings, and gravies. One of the best industrial uses of maize starch powder is bakers using it to improve the texture and tenderness of cakes.

  4. Paper Industry The powder is used mostly in the paper industry to enhance the bonding strength of paper as well as corrugated boxes. This is because of maize starch powder’s excellent adhesive properties.

  5. Textile Industry One of the best (and most common) uses of the starch is to soften fabric as well as providing cloth with the required stiffness. Other uses include material sizing: this allows the strength of the warp yarn to be easily increased.

  6. Pharmaceutical Industry In the pharmaceutical industry, the Maize Starch is used as filler, diluents, humectant, binder and disintegrant. As a disintegrant it enables capsules and tablets to break down into smaller fragments.

  7. Drilling starch Another common use of Maize starch is to manufacture pre gelatinized starch. Pre gelatinized starch is a processed carbohydrate used as a texturizer and or binder.

  8. Bioplastics Bioplastics are currently used in disposable items like packaging, cups, straws, bags etc. Bioplastics namely PLA (polyacticacid) is typically made from the sugars in corn starch and is biodegradable, carbon-neutral and edible.

  9. Industrial Applications of Maize Starch The production of maize starch in India is fragmented as there is a large variety of manufacturers and producers with variable production capacities. The key derivatives are syrups,modified starches,and sweeteners, amongstothers.

  10. Supplying Maize/ Corn Starch GUJARAT AMBUJA EXPORTS LIMITED, offer maize/corn starch that is food, Pharma, and industrial grade. The best industrial uses for maize starch powder are in those industries which are able to get the most benefit out of the versatility and readily-available material that is this product.
