Key Properties
Starch wheat extra pure (wheat starch) is a natural polysaccharide derived from the endosperm of wheat grains. It is primarily composed of amylose and amylopectin, making it a versatile carbohydrate with unique thickening and gelling properties. This product is classified as 'Extra Pure', indicating a high level of purity suitable for scientific applications. It serves as a reference carbohydrate in food science, particularly in studies involving starch chemistry and formulation research.
Also known as Wheat Starch, Starch, Wheat.

- Substance
Starch wheat extra pure appears as a white, fine powder that is odorless and has a smooth texture. It is insoluble in cold water, but it can swell and form a gel when heated in water, demonstrating its unique properties as a thickening agent. The density of wheat starch is approximately 0.5 g/cm³. The melting point of starch is not well-defined due to its polymeric nature, but it typically gelatinizes at temperatures between 60-70°C. It has a low moisture content, generally below 14%, which is crucial for maintaining its stability and functionality in various applications.
