What is Corn Starch？
Corn starch is a fine powder derived from corn kernels' endosperm. It serves as a versatile thickening agent in cooking and baking, creating a gel-like texture when mixed with liquids and heated. With gluten-free properties, it is a common choice for gluten-sensitive diets and is used in baking to improve texture and structure. Corn starch also finds application in binding ingredients and has uses beyond cooking, including in cosmetics. Its ability to enhance texture and stability makes it a valuable ingredient in various culinary and industrial processes.

What is Corn Starch Used for?
Cornstarch is starch extracted from corn and has a variety of uses in food processing, industrial production and other fields.
Food processing:
In food processing, cornstarch is often used as a thickening agent to increase the viscosity and taste of food. It is often used to make jams, syrups, puddings, sauces and other foods. In addition, cornstarch is also added to flour to improve the elasticity and softness of the dough. In some dairy and meat products, cornstarch is also used as a stabilizer to help maintain the texture and mouthfeel of the product.
Industrial production:
In industrial production, corn starch is widely used. It is used in the manufacture of paper to enhance its strength and texture. In textile production, cornstarch is used as a sizing agent to help bond fibers to each other. In addition, cornstarch is also an important component of adhesives and is used in the manufacture of glues, tapes and other products. In the field of environmental protection, cornstarch is also used in the production of biodegradable plastics and biofuels.
Other uses:
In addition to food processing and industrial production, cornstarch is also used as an ingredient in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. In the pharmaceutical field, it is commonly used in the manufacture of capsules and tablets. In cosmetics, cornstarch is commonly used as an oil absorber and stabilizer. In addition, corn starch is also required as a raw material in the production process of some chemicals.
To sum up, corn starch is a versatile raw material with wide applications in food, industry and other fields.
How to Make Corn Starch?
When making cornstarch, the corn is first soaked in water. This is done to soften the corn and remove the outer skin. Next, grind the soaked corn into a paste. Then, the starch and fiber are separated by stirring and filtering. This usually involves washing with water to precipitate the starch and then remove the fiber.
The starch is then precipitated, excess moisture is removed, and the starch is dried until the desired moisture content is reached. Finally, the dried starch is ground into a powder and packaged for marketing or further processing.
This process requires strict control of temperature, humidity and time to ensure the quality and stability of the final product. The whole process may require some specialized equipment and techniques, but these are the basic steps for making cornstarch!
How Much Corn Starch for Gravy?
Generally speaking, the amount of cornstarch you use depends on the consistency you want to achieve. Generally, cornstarch can be used in the following proportions:
If you want a slightly thicker gravy, you can use about 1 tablespoon cornstarch per cup of liquid.
If you want a thicker gravy, you can use about 2 tablespoons cornstarch per cup of liquid.
When you're preparing to cook gravy, cornstarch can be used to thicken the sauce. Here is a general guideline:
Step:
Prepare the mixture: In a small bowl, take some cold water (approximately 2-3 tablespoons of water for every tablespoon of starch) and stir well until the starch is completely dissolved.
Add gravy: Generally speaking, you can use 1 to 2 tablespoons of cornstarch per cup of liquid (such as broth or juice). It depends on the final consistency you want.
Boil: Bring the gravy to a boil, then slowly add the cornstarch-water mixture, stirring constantly, until the gravy reaches your desired consistency.
Adjustment: If you feel it is not thick enough, you can add some more starch water paste, but remember to wait a while after each addition, because the gravy will continue to thicken.
Precautions:
Avoid lumps: Just be sure to mix the cornstarch with cold water thoroughly before adding the gravy to avoid lumps.
Personal Taste: The above proportions and steps are general guidelines, you can adjust the amount of cornstarch to use based on your personal taste and the requirements of your specific dish.
