Wheat Starch - 100 g

Details Starch, a great help in baking! Starch is a carbohydrate that was discovered long ago. It is a molecule that helps food retain its shape and structure. When you add starch to your baking recipes, it helps bind the ingredients together and gives the final product a nice, firm texture. In addition, starch helps to absorb moisture, which is why it is often used in recipes that require a lot of eggs or dairy products. What is wheat starch made of? Wheat starch is a powder extracted from the wheat plant. It is used as a food ingredient and in many industrial processes. Wheat starch is made by separating the wheat flour into its components: the bran, germ and endosperm. The bran and germ are removed, leaving the endosperm. The endosperm is then ground into a fine powder and mixed with water to form a paste. This paste is then filtered to remove insoluble fibres and finally dried to a powder. What are the uses of wheat starch? Wheat starch is used as a food ingredient, thickener, binder or emulsifier in many products such as bread, cakes, noodles, soups, sauces, gravies, puddings, and pie fillings. It is also used in the paper industry and for gluing textiles. Wheat starch can also be used as a binding agent in the pharmaceutical industry.
