Corn starch is modified according to uses.
Corn starch and modified starch have a various applications from food to textile.

CORN STARCH

Corn starch, which is made from corn, is the most popular among all kinds of starches. It is the main constituent of the inner kernel of a grain of corn, (about 70%). This white powdery substance is indispensable for our daily life.

MODIFIED STARCHES

Starches for improving productivity and producing higher quality products Modified food starches are popular in EU and US. JCS deals in many types of modified starches waxy corn starch and tapioca starch.
