We provide maize which has various uses and benefits. Maize or Corn Starch is a typical cereal starch with distinctly low protein and ash contents. Its carbohydrate content of high purity makes it useful in several industries. Diverse uses of starch make it a very versatile product. Yellow Maize is one of the most cultivated crops of India. We provide yellow maize domestically as well as internationally. The Yellow Maize that we offer is hugely sought-after for its high nutritional content. Yellow Maize proves a good animal feed.
Processed Maize contains about 66% of starch which can be separated from other ingredients by various processes such as steeping, grinding, purifying and drying. The physio-chemical and functional properties of starch exhibit a wide variation with slight change in the production parameters.
One of the important properties is of the viscosity of starch slurry. Normally, starch has near neutral PH. With an increase in the PH, viscosity of starch tends to show an increase, thus making it possible to have diverse uses. This is commonly known as High Viscosity Starch and is used in the textile industry for sizing.
