Industrial Starch is an essential ingredient both for the food and non-food industry. For starch production, raw materials constitute around 60 percent of the total cost incurred. Also, with the advancement of technology, starch manufacturing units have adopted a full set of modern technology, facilitating cost effective production. Various by products were disposed of traditionally, but now as the manufacturers know the value of these by product, they are now processed and used as valuable raw material in various application. There has been huge demand of starch in production of bio-degradable plastic. Industrial players rely on starch to produce bio-degradable plastic as this plastic can be easily degraded by enzymatic & chemical processes and the end product can be used as compost, and hence used as fertilizers.
Whereas, the non-food applications of starch include corrugation & paper making, pharmaceutical, textile, cosmetics, animal feed and other non-food applications. After food industry, the corrugation & paper making industry is the largest consumer of starch. The increasing cost of cellulose pulp has encouraged the paper producers to make a rational choice and look at lower cost fillers. These fillers often require special modified starches to bind them to the pulp. Along with the use of starches in the paper and textile industries, it is also finds its application in biofuel and bioethanol market. There is increasing interest in some starchy crops in the production of biofuel and bioethanol production. Other non-food applications include mining & drilling, construction & building, adhesive, and chemical industries.
