What it is
Corn starch is a powder made from the endosperm of corn kernels. Powdered cellulose is a fine powder derived from the cell walls of plants, typically wood pulp or cotton. Both are processed to create fine powders.
Why it's used
These ingredients are used as anti-caking agents in powdered food products. They absorb moisture and prevent particles from clumping together, ensuring a free-flowing texture. They are commonly found in spice blends, powdered sugar, and mixes for baked goods.
Health notes
Corn starch and powdered cellulose are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are indigestible fibers that pass through the body. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical dietary intakes.
Allergen info
Corn starch is not a major allergen. Powdered cellulose is plant-derived and not a major allergen. Neither contains gluten.
