Cornstarch is not just one single chemical. It is usually composed of several substances including amylase and amylopectin in different proportions. As you might expect - it doesn't necessarily have just one chemical name.

With that said - the single molecule

5-[5-[3,4-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methoxyoxan-2-yl]oxy-6-[[3,4-dihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-5-methoxyoxan-2-yl]oxymethyl]-3,4-dihydroxyoxan-2-yl]oxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-2-methyloxane-3,4-diol could be considered "cornstartch" - with the formula C27H48O20
