We are renowned in the market as a leader for Maize Native Starch Manufacturer, Supplier and exporter in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Derived from sources such as maize, waxy maize, high amylose maize, wheat, tapioca and potato, native starches are generally used for food texturizing and thickening. They are insoluble in cold water and swell to different degrees depending on the temperature used. Native starches have very good thickening, gelling, moisture retention and anti-staling properties.
Starch is the main carbohydrate nutrient from different sources of vegetation. Maize or corn starch powder is white, odorless and tasteless, which is extracted from the kernel of maize/corn. It is widely used as a thickener and a stiffening agent with numerous industrial applications.
