Modified cornstarch is a popular food ingredient that is derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is made through a process that alters the physical and chemical properties of cornstarch, resulting in a more stable and versatile product. Modified cornstarch is commonly used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and binder in a variety of food products, including sauces, dressings, soups, and baked goods. It offers several benefits such as improved texture, shelf-life, and freeze-thaw stability. Additionally, modified cornstarch is gluten-free, making it suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
