Starch Industry

The starch industry involves extracting starch from crops like corn, potatoes, and wheat, primarily for use in food products, adhesives, textiles, and paper. The process includes harvesting the crop, extracting the starch through milling and washing, and then refining it into various forms such as powdered starch or syrups. These starch derivatives serve as thickeners, stabilizers, and sweeteners in many commercial applications. The industry plays a vital role in providing ingredients for numerous industries, supporting food production, manufacturing, and even biofuel development, all while emphasizing sustainable sourcing and processing methods.
