- Starch - a. - Stiff; precise; rigid.
- Starch - n. - A widely diffused vegetable substance found especially in seeds, bulbs, and tubers, and extracted (as from potatoes, corn, rice, etc.) as a white, glistening, granular or powdery substance, without taste or smell, and giving a very peculiar creaking sound when rubbed between the fingers. It is used as a food, in the production of commercial grape sugar, for stiffening linen in laundries, in making paste, etc.
- Starch - n. - Fig.: A stiff, formal manner; formality.
- Starch - v. t. - To stiffen with starch.
- Starched - imp. & p. p. - of Starch
- Starched - a. - Stiffened with starch.
- Starched - a. - Stiff; precise; formal.
- Starchedness - n. - The quality or state of being starched; stiffness in manners; formality.
- Starcher - n. - One who starches.
- Starching - p. pr. & vb. n. - of Starch
- Starchly - adv. - In a starched or starch manner.
- Starchness - n. - Of or pertaining to starched or starch; stiffness of manner; preciseness.
- Starchwort - n. - The cuckoopint, the tubers of which yield a fine quality of starch.
- Starchy - a. - Consisting of starch; resembling starch; stiff; precise.
- Cerealin - n. - A nitrogenous substance closely resembling diastase, obtained from bran, and possessing the power of converting starch into dextrin, sugar, and lactic acid.
- Sowens - n. pl. - A nutritious article of food, much used in Scotland, made from the husk of the oat by a process not unlike that by which common starch is made; -- called flummery in England.
- Farina - n. - A fine flour or meal made from cereal grains or from the starch or fecula of vegetables, extracted by various processes, and used in cookery.
- Diastatic - a. - Relating to diastase; having the properties of diastase; effecting the conversion of starch into sugar.
- Amylose - n. - One of the starch group (C6H10O5)n of the carbohydrates; as, starch, arabin, dextrin, cellulose, etc.
- Inversion - n. - The act or process by which cane sugar (sucrose), under the action of heat and acids or ferments (as diastase), is broken or split up into grape sugar (dextrose), and fruit sugar (levulose); also, less properly, the process by which starch is converted into grape sugar (dextrose).
- Dextrose - n. - A sirupy, or white crystalline, variety of sugar, C6H12O6 (so called from turning the plane of polarization to the right), occurring in many ripe fruits. Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice.
- Tapioca - n. - A coarsely granular substance obtained by heating, and thus partly changing, the moistened starch obtained from the roots of the cassava. It is much used in puddings and as a thickening for soups. See Cassava.
- Starchly - adv. - In a starched or starch manner.
- Tous-les-mois - n. - A kind of starch with very large, oval, flattened grains, often sold as arrowroot, and extensively used for adulterating cocoa. It is made from the rootstocks of a species of Canna, probably C. edulis, the tubers of which are edible every month in the year.
- Maltose - n. - A crystalline sugar formed from starch by the action of distance of malt, and the amylolytic ferment of saliva and pancreatic juice. It resembles dextrose, but rotates the plane of polarized light further to the right and possesses a lower cupric oxide reducing power.
- Amylolytic - a. - Effecting the conversion of starch into soluble dextrin and sugar; as, an amylolytic ferment.
- Inulin - n. - A substance of very wide occurrence. It is found dissolved in the sap of the roots and rhizomes of many composite and other plants, as Inula, Helianthus, Campanula, etc., and is extracted by solution as a tasteless, white, semicrystalline substance, resembling starch, with which it is isomeric. It is intermediate in nature between starch and sugar. Called also dahlin, helenin, alantin, etc.
- Plasma - n. - A mixture of starch and glycerin, used as a substitute for ointments.
- Dextrin - n. - A translucent, gummy, amorphous substance, nearly tasteless and odorless, used as a substitute for gum, for sizing, etc., and obtained from starch by the action of heat, acids, or diastase. It is of somewhat variable composition, containing several carbohydrates which change easily to their respective varieties of sugar. It is so named from its rotating the plane of polarization to the right; -- called also British gum, Alsace gum, gommelin, leiocome, etc. See Achroodextrin, and Erythrodextrin.
- Cassava - n. - A nutritious starch obtained from the rootstocks of the cassava plant, used as food and in making tapioca.
- Paste - n. - A kind of cement made of flour and water, starch and water, or the like, -- used for uniting paper or other substances, as in bookbinding, etc., -- also used in calico printing as a vehicle for mordant or color.
- Erythrogranulose - n. - A term applied by Brucke to a substance present in small amount in starch granules, colored red by iodine.
- Glucose - n. - A variety of sugar occurring in nature very abundantly, as in ripe grapes, and in honey, and produced in great quantities from starch, etc., by the action of heat and acids. It is only about half as sweet as cane sugar. Called also dextrose, grape sugar, diabetic sugar, and starch sugar. See Dextrose.
- Amelcorn - n. - A variety of wheat from which starch is produced; -- called also French rice.
- Intussusception - n. - The interposition of new particles of formative material among those already existing, as in a cell wall, or in a starch grain.
- Sago - n. - A dry granulated starch imported from the East Indies, much used for making puddings and as an article of diet for the sick; also, as starch, for stiffening textile fabrics. It is prepared from the stems of several East Indian and Malayan palm trees, but chiefly from the Metroxylon Sagu; also from several cycadaceous plants (Cycas revoluta, Zamia integrifolia, etc.).
- Dahlin - n. - A variety of starch extracted from the dahlia; -- called also inulin. See Inulin.
- Diastase - n. - A soluble, nitrogenous ferment, capable of converting starch and dextrin into sugar.
- Leucoplastid - n. - One of certain very minute whitish or colorless granules occurring in the protoplasm of plants and supposed to be the nuclei around which starch granules will form.
