Corn starch made from dry white corn that is milled or ground to a fine powder with sand-like grains. Meanwhile, corn starch that has been ground and processed by soaking and fermenting is called cornstarch (maizena). Both flours are often used in food preparations. Cornstarch (maizena) is often used to add crispness to cookies, fried foods, soften cake batter and thicken sauces, gravy or vla because Cornstarch (maizena) contains 74-76%
amylopectin and 24-26% amylose
