  2. Corn starch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_starch

    Corn starch mixed in water. Cornflour, cornstarch, maize starch, or corn starch (American English) is the starch derived from corn grain. [2] The starch is obtained from the endosperm of the kernel. Corn starch is a common food ingredient, often used to thicken sauces or soups, and to make corn syrup and other sugars. [3]

  3. Corn gluten meal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_gluten_meal

    The endosperm goes through screenings to separate starch and proteins from the corn fiber or bran. The remaining starch and proteins are centrifuged to separate the starch from the corn gluten meal. [2] Corn gluten meal as commonly produced contains "71.4% crude protein, 4.1% fat, 0.8% fiber, 1.2% ash, 12.4% starch, 10.1% other carbohydrates".

  4. Waxy corn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waxy_corn

    Waxy maize starch is a major starch component in adhesives used for making bottle labels. This waxy starch-based adhesive imparts resolubilizing resistance to the labels which prevents their soaking off the bottle if immersed in water or being subjected to very high humidity conditions. waxy maize starches are commonly used in the US for the ...

  5. Gluten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten

    The types of grains that contain gluten include all species of wheat (common wheat, durum, spelt, khorasan, emmer and einkorn), and barley, rye, and some cultivars of oat; moreover, cross hybrids of any of these cereal grains also contain gluten, e.g. triticale. [3] [4] Gluten makes up 75–85% of the total protein in bread wheat. [5]

  6. Cornmeal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornmeal

    Cornmeal is a meal (coarse flour) ground from dried corn (maize). It is a common staple food and is ground to coarse, medium, and fine consistencies, but it is not as fine as wheat flour can be. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In Mexico and Louisiana, very finely ground cornmeal is referred to as corn flour .

  7. Glucose syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_syrup

    Glucose syrup on a black surface. Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch. Glucose is a sugar. Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch in the US, in which case the syrup is called "corn syrup", but glucose syrup is also made from potatoes and wheat, and less often from barley, rice and cassava.

  8. Corn syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_syrup

    Corn syrup is a food syrup which is made from the starch of corn/maize and contains varying amounts of sugars: glucose, maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade. Corn syrup is used in foods to soften texture , add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor.

  9. Refined grains - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refined_grains

    In the case of maize, the process of nixtamalization (a chemical form of refinement) yields a considerable improvement in the bioavailability of niacin, thereby preventing pellagra in diets consisting largely of maize products. [7] Similar to whole grains, refined grains are a good source of starch, including resistant starch. [8]
