Corn starch is a type of starch extracted from corn through processing, which is mainly composed of glucose molecules. Corn starch, as a common food additive and industrial raw material, is widely used in fields such as food, medicine, cosmetics, textiles, papermaking, and petroleum. It has multiple functions and effects, which will be explained in detail below.

Firstly, corn starch plays an important role in the food processing industry. It can be used as a thickener, stabilizer, and dispersant to improve the viscosity and stability of food. For example, when making jam, jelly, seasoning sauce, meat products, etc., adding an appropriate amount of corn starch can increase its viscosity and concentration, improve its texture and taste. In addition, corn starch also has functions such as maintaining food color, extending shelf life, and preventing freezing.

Secondly, corn starch also has a wide range of applications in the pharmaceutical field. It can be used as a filler, binder, and coating agent in the pharmaceutical industry. In the pharmaceutical process, corn starch can help manufacture tablets, capsules, and granules, shape drugs, and improve their stability and solubility. In addition, corn starch can also be used to make ointments, ointments, and injections, which have the effects of increasing drug viscosity, improving appearance, and protecting drugs.
