Recently, researchers reported that at an extreme speed, the cornstarch mixture behaves like a liquid first before becoming tougher.
About Cornstarch:
It is substance produced through wet milling of corn(Zea mays).
Wet milling separates the components of corn kernels, which consist primarily of protein, fibre, starch, and oil.
Once separated, the starch is dried, forming a white powder called cornstarch.
Cornstarch is high in carbohydrates but lacking in vitamins, protein, fibre, and minerals, making it one of the least nutritionally dense components of corn.
Applications of Cornstarch:
It absorbs moisture, however, making it useful as a thickener and anticaking agent in food products.
It is used in certain oral medications, where it facilitates the disintegration of capsules and tablets.
It may be used as a substitute for wheat flour in gluten-free foods and as a substitute for baby powder.
It is used in food processing, papermaking, and the production of industrial adhesives; it is also a component of many cosmetics and oral pharmaceutical products.
It has been used as a lubricant in surgical gloves.
