It is used as a thickening agent in liquid-based foods (e.g., soup, sauces, gravies, custard), usually by mixing it with a lower-temperature liquid to form a paste or slurry.

Corn starch added to a batter which coated chicken nuggets increased oil absorption and crispness after the latter stages of frying. Corn starch can be used to manufacture bioplastics.
