Corn syrup helps haircare products retain moisture while citric acid from corn is used to control pHbalance. Corn starch in dry shampoos binds with natural oils and reduces grease.
The term bioproducts designates a wide variety of innovative corn-based products made from natural raw materials. These products are used in food as well as in a variety of industrial and consumer products available today, often as a petroleum substitute.
For many decades, fermentation of corn-derived glucose has provided a multitude of bioproducts, including organic acids, amino acids, vitamins, and food gums.
Thanks to decades of work by scientists and researchers in our industry, the contents of a simple kernel of corn are the basis for a thousand everyday products, such as pharmaceutical casings, paper goods, and automobile tires.
Corn-based polymers, sometimes known as biopolymers, create high-performance, affordable, and durable every-day products. Biodegradable, yet sturdy, caps, cups, paper coatings, fabrics, carpeting, and a host of other products are all possible today because of corn-based biopolymers. And with technological improvements in fermentation, they are moving into the next generation of technology: Utilized in 3-D printing inks and studied by nanotechnology scientists as a method for delivering cancer treatments.

Eggs and meats often have foam packaging – a resin which can be made by bioprocessing cornstarch.
As this new technology evolves, scientists are testing a wide range of injectable polymers, many of which contain cornstarch.
