1．Corn starch 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.

2．It is usually included as an anti-caking agent in powdered sugar (10X or confectioner's sugar). Baby powder often includes cornstarch among its ingredients.

3．Corn starch can be used to manufacture bioplastics.

4．Corn starch is the preferred anti-stick agent on medical products made from natural latex, including condoms, diaphragms and medical gloves.Prior usage of talc was abandoned as talc was believed to be a carcinogen.

5．Corn starch is used to supply glucose to humans who have glycogen storage disease (GSD). Without this, they would not thrive (i.e. little, if any, weight gain) and thus die.
