Corn starch, also known as maize starch or cornflour (in some regions like the UK), is a finely textured, white powder extracted from the endosperm of corn (maize) kernels. It's a common ingredient in kitchens worldwide and finds extensive applications in various industries. Key characteristics

• Thickening Power: Corn starch is most renowned for its ability to thicken liquids when heated. When mixed with cold water to form a slurry and then heated, the starch granules swell and gelatinize, creating a smooth and thick consistency. This makes it a popular choice for gravies, sauces, soups, custards, and desserts.
• Neutral Flavor: Corn starch possesses a neutral taste, ensuring it doesn't interfere with the original flavor profile of dishes.
• Gluten-Free: Naturally free from gluten, it's a valuable alternative to wheat flour for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, notes BAKERpedia.
• Appearance: When used as a thickener, corn starch often results in an opaque or cloudy mixture, says MasterClass. However, it can achieve a clear, glossy finish if cooked correctly.
• Heat Resistance: Corn starch demonstrates good heat resistance and stability, making it suitable for dishes requiring longer cooking times.

Sodium carboxymethyl starch (SCMS or CMS), a chemically modified carbohydrate, is a starch ether derivative obtained through the carboxymethylation of native starch. It's typically derived from starches such as maize, potato, tapioca, and rice. This white or light yellow, odorless powder is an anionic, water-soluble polymer compound that forms a colorless, transparent, and viscous liquid when dissolved in water at room temperature. Key properties and characteristics

• Water Solubility: SCMS is readily soluble in cold water, forming a viscous solution. According to IndiaMART, it swells upon contact with water, absorbing up to 30 times its original volume.
• Biodegradable and Non-toxic: It's an environmentally friendly and safe ingredient.
• Thickening and Stabilizing Agent: SCMS is widely used as a thickener, binder, suspending aid, stabilizer, and emulsifier in various applications.
• Improved Storage Stability: The carboxymethyl groups interrupt the starch's native structure, reducing gelatinization temperature, increasing solubility, and improving storage stability.
• Freeze-Thaw Stability: It exhibits excellent freeze-thaw stability, making it suitable for use in frozen and refrigerated food products.
• Alkaline Nature: Its solutions are alkaline. 

Applications across diverse industriesSCMS finds extensive use in various industries due to its unique properties and cost-effectiveness.

• Pharmaceuticals: Also known as sodium starch glycolate, SCMS is commonly used as a disintegrant in tablet formulations.
• Textile Industry: It's used as a thickening agent in textile printing pastes and as a sizing agent for hydrophilic yarn.
• Paper Industry: SCMS is used as a drying agent, wet-end additive, and sizing agent to improve paper strength, printability, and water resistance.
• Oil Well Drilling: SCMS is an effective fluid loss control agent and mud stabilizer in water-based drilling fluids.
• Food Industry: Food-grade SCMS serves multiple functions, including thickening, suspending, emulsifying, stabilizing, shaping, film-forming, and preserving freshness in products like milk, beverages, frozen foods, and baked goods.
• Detergents: SCMS can replace carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in detergents, enhancing biodegradability and offering comparable or superior performance.
• Cosmetics: It's used as a thickening and stabilizing agent in various cosmetic products like creams, lotions, and gels, improving their texture and consistency.
• Construction: SCMS is utilized as a thickening and water-retaining agent in putty powder and latex paint.
• Ceramics: It acts as an excipient, plasticizer, and reinforcing agent for ceramic billets.
