Starch is a food ingredient that does not dissolve in water but can thicken it when heated. When starch granules are heated in water, they absorb moisture and swell, creating a thickening effect. This property is commonly utilized in cooking and food preparation, such as in sauces, soups, and gravies, to achieve a desired consistency. Other thickeners like Gelatin and certain gums also provide similar effects without dissolving in water.
