Cornflour, cornstarch, maize starch, or corn starch (American English) is the starch derived from corn (maize) 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] Corn starch is versatile, easily modified, and finds many uses in industry such as adhesives, in paper products, as an anti-sticking agent, and textile manufacturing.[4] It has medical uses as well, such as to supply glucose for people with glycogen storage disease.[5]
