Premium Corn Starch (Zea Mays) – The Essential High-Purity Industrial & Culinary Thickener

1. Introduction to Corn Starch

Corn Starch (Bột Bắp), also known as maize starch, is a versatile carbohydrate extracted from the endosperm of the corn kernel. At Vinahugo, we produce high-grade corn starch through a sophisticated wet-milling process, ensuring a pure, brilliant white powder with neutral taste and odor.

Our corn starch is a staple in global food manufacturing and industrial sectors, valued for its superior thickening power, stabilizing properties, and smooth texture. Whether for gourmet cooking or pharmaceutical applications, our product meets the highest international purity standards.
