Chemical properties 0f Native Corn Starch

Property	Description
Chemical Name	Native Corn Starch
Chemical Formula	((C_6H_{10}O_5)_n)
CAS Number	9005-25-8
Composition	Primarily composed of amylose (20–30%) and amylopectin (70–80%)
Monomer Unit	D-Glucose
Glycosidic Linkages	α-(1→4) linkages in amylose; α-(1→6) branch points in amylopectin
Appearance	White, fine, odorless, and tasteless powder
pH (5% Suspension)	4.5–7.0
Solubility	Insoluble in cold water and alcohol; swells and gelatinizes in hot water
Gelatinization Temperature	62–72°C (varies with corn variety and moisture content)
Hydrolysis	Hydrolyzed by acids or enzymes (e.g., α-amylase, glucoamylase) to produce dextrins, maltose, and glucose
Chemical Reactivity	Hydroxyl (-OH) groups enable esterification, etherification, oxidation, cross-linking, and other chemical modifications
Reducing Nature	Essentially non-reducing, with only a small number of reducing end groups
Film-Forming Ability	Forms transparent, flexible films after gelatinization
Biodegradability	Readily biodegradable and environmentally friendly
Thermal Stability	Stable under normal storage conditions; decomposes at high temperatures (>250°C)
Moisture Absorption	Hygroscopic; absorbs moisture from the atmosphere under high humidity
Applications Based on Chemical Properties	Used in food products, pharmaceuticals, paper, textiles, adhesives, biodegradable plastics, and chemical modification processes

 Grades of Native Corn Starch

Food Grade (Extra High Purity):

Designed for human consumption, conforming to FCC (Food Chemicals Codex), USP/BP, and international food safety standards (HACCP/ISO).

It features extremely low microbial limits and strict heavy metal thresholds.

Pharmaceutical Grade:

Meets pharmacopeia standards (USP/EP/BP). It is utilized as a binder, diluent, and disintegrant in tablet manufacturing, requiring tighter control on ash content and purity.

Industrial / Technical Grade:

Engineered for non-food applications like paper sizing, textiles, and adhesives.

It prioritizes viscosity stability and binding performance over stringent food-grade microbial limits, offering a more cost-effective option for industrial scale.
