H3) The main differences between industrial grade and food grade corn starch
The main differences between industrial grade and food grade corn starch lie in their application fields, production processes, quality standards, and physical properties.
√application area
Industrial grade corn starch: mainly used in industrial fields such as papermaking, fiberboard, adhesives, dyes, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. It is also used for sizing cotton yarn, wool fabrics, and synthetic silk fabrics in the textile industry to enhance and maintain the yarn’s wear resistance, smoothness, resistance to breakage, and lubricity during weaving.
Food grade corn starch: mainly used in food processing, such as noodles, biscuits, candies, etc. It needs to comply with strict food safety standards and pay attention to indicators such as heavy metals and bacteria to ensure its suitability for human consumption.
√Production process
Industrial grade corn starch: produced by dry method, including cleaning, crushing, separation, drying and other processes, followed by crushing, screening, soaking, dehydration and other steps, finally obtaining dried corn starch.
Food grade corn starch: Produced by wet method, corn is soaked and then subjected to crushing, precipitation, dehydration and other steps to obtain corn starch with moderate humidity.
√Quality standards and physical properties
Industrial grade corn starch: Quality standards mainly include indicators such as starch content, protein content, ash content, etc. Due to the possible addition of chemical reagents during the production process, its physical properties such as color, viscosity, and transparency differ significantly from food grade corn starch.
Food grade corn starch: Quality standards mainly focus on its food safety, including indicators such as heavy metals and bacteria. There are strict requirements for sensory indicators such as color, taste, odor, and impurities.
√Security
Industrial grade corn starch: contains heavy metals, toxic substances, and some impurities, without excessive hygiene requirements, and cannot be used as a food ingredient.
Food grade corn starch: It needs to meet strict food safety standards and be suitable for human consumption.
