What it is
Corn starch is a carbohydrate derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is produced by grinding dried corn kernels and separating the starch from the protein and fiber. The resulting fine, white powder is a common ingredient in many food products.
Why it's used
Corn starch is primarily used as a thickening agent in sauces, gravies, soups, and puddings. It can also be used as a binder in processed meats and baked goods, and to prevent caking in powdered sugar. Its neutral flavor and ability to create a smooth texture make it versatile in cooking and baking.
Health notes
Corn starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and provides energy. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated corn starch and its derivatives. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest a link between corn starch consumption and disease.
Allergen info
Corn is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Corn starch does not contain gluten.
