Starch powder is a congealing agent used in cooking to thicken puddings, pie fillings, sauces, gravies and other liquids. The various powders are preferred over flour as a thickener because they are flavorless and dissolve easily in hot and cold liquids. Further, many can add a gloss to the foods to which they are added. Cornstarch, arrowroot and tapioca are the most commonly used culinary thickeners.
It also can be used in a mixture to lift fingerprints.
Starch powder turns blue-black in iodine solution due to the formation of a starch-iodine complex.

Starch is a white powder that turns black when it comes in contact with iodine. This reaction is often used as a simple test for the presence of starch in a substance.

Corn starch and arrowroot powder are both starches used as thickeners in cooking and baking. Corn starch is derived from corn, while arrowroot powder comes from the arrowroot plant. Arrowroot powder is considered a better thickener for acidic liquids compared to corn starch. In terms of uses, corn starch is more commonly used in recipes due to its availability and lower cost, while arrowroot powder is preferred in recipes that require a clear, glossy finish.
Possibly baking powder?
No, it doesn't contain starch. Gelatin is purely ground-up animal bone.
