Corn starch is most commonly used in Food as a texture enhancer because of its thickening properties. Corn Starch takes a relatively short time to form a viscous and opaque paste, which has a typical cereal flavour and is widely used for thickening sauces, gravies, puddings and pie fillings. Corn starch finds numerous uses in the baking industry, where bakers use corn starch to improve the texture and tenderness of cakes. Corn starch is used in providing strength to ice cream and ice cream cones as well as used in other desserts and salad dressing.
