So, what is food starch?
Food starch is a versatile and commonly used ingredient in the food industry. It is derived from various sources such as corn, potato, tapioca, and wheat. This fine, powdery substance is used as a thickener, stabilizer, and binder in a wide range of food products, including sauces, soups, gravies, baked goods, and processed foods. Food starch improves the texture, consistency, and shelf life of food products. It also adds bulk and enhances the mouthfeel of food. Due to its neutral taste and odor, food starch is an ideal ingredient for many recipes. It is also gluten-free and therefore suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
