Sigma-Aldrich™ Starch from Corn, Practical Grade

Sigma-Aldrich™ Starch from Corn, Practical Grade is a solid, white, plant-derived carbohydrate polymer obtained from corn. Starch is composed mainly of the glucose polymers amylose and amylopectin, and is widely used in food science, biochemical research, enzymology, formulation studies, and laboratory teaching applications.

As a renewable and biodegradable natural polymer, corn starch is suitable for a wide range of experimental workflows where a practical-grade starch source is required. It may be used in studies involving carbohydrate digestion, starch structure and functionality, enzyme activity, test diet preparation, and food quality research.
