Maize starch and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are not the same; they are derived from corn but serve different purposes in food products. Maize starch is primarily used as a thickening agent, while HFCS is a sweetener created by converting some glucose in corn syrup to fructose. In the UK, food products labeled with maize starch do not contain HFCS unless specifically stated. Thus, maize starch itself does not equate to high fructose corn syrup.
Iodine reacts with starch to form a blue-black color. In maize seeds, the endosperm contains starch, so when treated with iodine, the endosperm will turn blue-black if starch is present. This reaction is commonly used to test for the presence of starch in plant tissues.

It makes more sense to substitute Hi-maize resistant starch for flour in muffin recipes. Hi-maize has about 5.5 grams of fiber/tablespoon, so baking it into muffins make them better-for-you very easily and very quickly. And the resistant starch shifts your metabolism to burning fat and increased insulin sensitivity. Certain types of cornstarch can help the texture of muffins when used at low levels, but Hi-maize is used for nutritional and health purposes.
The kind of starch that is pregelatinized usually contains 50% or more of amylopectin. It could come from various sources, such as potato, maize, and more.The starch is mixed with water to a paste, then heated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, before instantly removing the water (by spray drying etc).It has several names; a pharmaceutical grade of it is called Starch 1500.But simply, it could be called a processed carbohydrate.
