Corn Starch

Corn Starch introduction

Corn starch is the processed product of corn grain, which is a product obtained by coarse and fine grinding and separated from the germ, fiber, protein and other by-products.Corn starch is widely used,Downstream products rich, mainly involved in starch sugar, beer, pharmaceutical, paper making, chemical industry, food processing, modified starch industry, such as the dosage of starch sugar, occupy about 55% of the corn starch consumption, followed by letting beer (about 10%), followed by medicine (about 8%), papermaking and chemical (about 7%) respectively, food processing (about 6%), modified starch (about 5%).

China is the second largest producer of corn starch, next to the United States, and the production of corn starch is mainly concentrated in north China and northeast China, in which the production of corn starch in the five provinces of Shandong, Jilin, Hebei, Henan and Shaanxi occupies about 89 percent of the total yield of corn starch in China.
