Starch Introduction

Starch is polymerized from glucose molecules and is a common storage form of carbohydrates in cells. Starch, also known as glutinous rice flour in the catering industry, is hydrolyzed to the disaccharide stage to form maltose, which is completely hydrolyzed to obtain monosaccharides (glucose). Starch is a nutrient stored in the plant body, stored in seeds and tubers, and the starch content is relatively high in all types of plants. Starch can be regarded as a high polymer of glucose. Starch is not only used for food, but also used in industry to produce dextrin, maltose, glucose, alcohol, etc. It is also used to prepare printing pastes, sizing textiles, gluing paper, and pressing pharmaceutical tablets. It can be extracted from starchy substances such as corn, sweet potato, wild acorns, and kudzu root.

Classification of starch

Corn starch, modified starch, wheat starch, potato starch, starch balls, starch paste, mung bean powder, mung bean starch, cassava starch, sweet potato starch, sweet potato starch, wheat starch, water chestnut starch, water starch, dry starch, wild acorn starch, kudzu root starch, starch glue, gluten powder, defatted wheat germ powder, starch balls, rice starch, pea starch, glutinous rice starch, erythritol, sorbitol, sugar alcohol, beer syrup, malt syrup, glucose syrup, coconut milk syrup, whole powder, prebiotic starch, pre gelatinized starch, phosphate starch, acid hydrolyzed starch, cationic starch, carboxymethyl starch, natural starch, starch syrup (starch lake), starch syrup, high malt syrup Simi starch, pharmaceutical starch, food starch, industrial starch, etc.

Screening requirements

The main purpose is grading and impurity removal.

During the production process of potato flour, corn starch, modified starch, whole flour, and purple potato flour, in general (most manufacturers), the screening for 20 mesh, 40 mesh, 50 mesh, 60 mesh, 80 mesh, and 100 mesh fine is 120 mesh.
