Technical aspects
Native Corn Starch is a loose, fine white powder with a neutral taste and odor. Production involves cleaning the endosperm of corn, followed by milling using water. Later, the gluten and starch are separated, and the slurry is dried for processing into powder.
Native Corn Starch consists of two polymers of glucose-amylose and amylopectin in different proportions depending on the type of corn. It has thickening properties, but does not change the taste of the product.
Foodcom S.A. offers Native Corn Starch produced without GMOs and from European corn.
