[0002] Cornstarch, a common food ingredient, possesses various functions and uses, including thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying. During cooking, cornstarch absorbs moisture upon heating, forming a colloid that increases the viscosity of food, making dishes or soups richer. In the preparation of pastries, puddings, and other foods, cornstarch stabilizes the structure, preventing ingredients from separating and maintaining the food's integrity and texture. However, cornstarch releases a significant amount of moisture during processing, which can affect its quality; therefore, drying is necessary.
