| | Starch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Starch (in particular cornstarch) is used in cooking for thickening sauces. | | | When starch is used dietetically it is normally cooked or prepared with ingredients such as lemon, tomato, vinegar, hot pepper, onion or garlic to change its characteristic 'starchiness.' An example of this would be the use of ketchup or vinegar in the presentation of french fries or chips. | | | Commonly used starches around the world are: arracacha, buckwheat, banana, barley, cassava, konjac, kudzu, oca, sago, sorghum, sweet potato, taro and yams. |

| | Corn syrup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Corn syrup, known as glucose syrup outside the United States, is a syrup made from corn starch and composed mainly of glucose. | | | Because fructose is much sweeter than glucose, the overall sweetness of the syrup is increased and it becomes a more useful substitute in food processing for sugar or invert sugar syrups, also known as trimoline. | | | High fructose corn syrup is often cited by some nutritionists as one of the leading causes of obesity and is linked to diabetes. |
