Maize Starch is a cereal starch, which has a low ash and protein content. It does not thin down during the process of sizing, whereas tapioca starch breaks down substantially on cooking. This results in an uneven pick up on the yarn. Unlike Tamarind Kernel Powder, which requires steeping and long cooking time, Maize Starch is transformed into a smooth paste within an hour or in even lesser time under pressure-cooking. The uniform viscosity, from lot to lot, ensures uniform pick up and penetration into the interstices of yarn to ensure good weaving performance. As foaming is usually associated with high pH, it is not necessary to add any of the antifoaming agents while working with maize starch, as the pH of Maize Starch paste is always maintained in the neutral range. In addition to these advantages, the starch is easily removed during the normal process of desizing. Liquid Glucose, Corn Syrup or Glucose Syrup are synonyms and are usually manufactured by subjecting starch to high temperature in the presence of acid. However, Liquid Glucose of same Dextrose Equivalent can be manufactured by enzymatic conversion but the spectrum of saccharides will differ and so also the properties, in comparison to acid converted Liquid Glucose. Generally known as Liquid Glucose or Corn Syrup it is a mixture of mono, di, tri, tetra, penta & higher Saccharides. High Maltose Syrup(Maize-O-Sweet) is manufactured by dual enzymatic conversion of starch under controlled conditions. ln this processs, starch slurry is subjected to liquefaction and dextrinisation in the presence of an enzyme. Subsequently dextrinised product is treated with another enzyme to make maltose syrup having desired maltose content. Dextrose is commercially prepared by hydrolysis of starch, employing acid or the modern method of enzymatic hydrolysis. It is used in pharmaceutical & food industries and also for preparing ice-cream as it lowers the freezing point more than that of sugar. It is also used for producing quality yeast for bakery products. Maize Products brings you India's first injectable grade of Anhydrous Dextrose IP/BP/USP for the manufacture of intravenous solutions.
As a hexahydric alcohol, Sorbitol is a member of the polyhydric alcohol family, the lowest of which are ethylene glycol and glycerol. The close chemical relationship between Sorbitol and the lower alcohols (like glycol and glycerol) is responsible for the similarity in their general physical properties and applications in industrial technology. Maize starch is a cereal starch having low ash and protein content. It does not thin down appreciably during the process of sizing or any other application where thick emulsion paste is required. This has an added advantage over a root starch such as tapioca or a potato starch. Maize starch is transformed into a very smooth paste within an hour or even a lesser time under pressure-cooking. As the foaming is usefully associated with high pH it is not necessary to add any of the antifoaming agents while working with maize starch, because pH of the Maize Starch paste is always maintained in the neutral range. In addition to this the starch is easily dispersed in hydrophilic media when the product is immersed in. Of all the grain commonly used in Live Stock & Poultry, Corn is by far the most important. Corn is palatable, readily digested by human and Monogastric and ruminant animals and is one of the best source of Metabolizeable Energy (ME) among the Grains. Caramel color has been used for generations to improve the taste and appearance of foods and beverages. Imparting color ranging from delicate yellow to the darkest browns, it remains a versatile and cost efficient coloring agent. This unique color is now brought to you by Sayaji Sethness Ltd. - a joint venture Company promoted by Sayaji Industries Ltd. (Ahmedabad) and Sethness Products Co. (U.S.A.) to manufacture Caramel colors. During the process of weaving, the warp threads are subjected to friction and tension. The flight of the crossing weft shuttle, the beating of the sley and the passing of the reeds cause friction. The drawing over of the cloth beam imposes tension, and the mechanical movements of the whole loom cause vibration, all of which bear upon the wrap. Unless protected by some means, the thread would wear out and fray in weaving. This, in a nutshell, is the purpose of warp sizing.
Dextrins are normally prepared by roasting starch in the presence of acid which materially changes the character and properties of starch. Chemically they are intermediate between starch and sugars derived from starch. Maize product's modern plant at Kathwada manufactures SAYATEX an oxidised starch of different viscosities and fluidities to suit the requirements of paper textile industries. This starch can be used for surface sizing and paper coating because of low viscosity and higher add-on on the paper. Cationic starches represent a unique class of high performance starchderivatives which have gained commercial acceptance because of their affinity towards negatively charged substrate such as cellulose, aqueous suspensions of minerals and slimes and biologically active macromolecules. They have already found extensive use in the paper manufacture in which they function as internal binders and retention aids for various fillers and emulsions and are added to the paper furnish before the sheet is formed. They are effective for improving such physical properties of paper as bursting and tensile strength, elongation, fold endurance, and pick resistance. SAYABOND is a ready-mix corrugation adhesive made from Maize Starch. It is specially developed for use in the corrugated paper packaging boards keeping in mind the advantages of consistency and perfection in quality. SAYASTICK is a modified starch powder suitable for making Pasting Liquid Glue (by hot process) on semi-automatic lamination/pasting machine. SAYASTICK is used for making 3-ply and 5-ply paperboards from two ply, in those units where the double backer facility is not available. Also one can use SAYASTICK for making 7-ply board from 5-ply board.
