Technical Document

High amylose maize starch (HAMS) is a type of starch derived from corn that has a higher amylose content compared to regular corn starch. High Amylose Maize Starch is a specialized type of corn starch with a higher amylose content (typically 50-70% or more) compared to regular corn starch (approximately 25-30% amylose). Amylose is a type of starch molecule that is more resistant to digestion, making HAMS a valuable ingredient in the food industry.
