Pregelatinized starch is a processed carbohydrate, used as a texturizer and/or binder. It is typically derived from corn, waxy corn, potato, or tapioca. It has nothing to do with gelatin. It is safe for vegetarians and vegans.
The waxy cuticle and the upper epidermis of a leaf do not react to iodine because iodine cannot penetrate these barriers to reach the underlying starch-containing cells.
The leaf could not be simply dipped in iodine because it has a waxy cuticle layer that repels water, making it difficult for the iodine to penetrate through and properly stain the leaf for a starch test. To allow the iodine to effectively interact with the leaf and detect starch, the leaf needs to be boiled in alcohol to remove the waxy cuticle first.

Waxy Maize, also known as Modified Food Starch have valuable properties that keep it from breaking down when frozen. Also, they are very clean when cooked and give a brilliant, clear appearance to fruit pie fillings. Waxy Maize does not set up firm like cornstarch, but rather makes a soft paste that has the same consistency hot and cold. Thus, it is not suitable for cream pie fillings.
