Cornflour and Cornstarch

Cornflour is a finer grind than cornmeal. It is used in making softer breads, such as tortillas. Cornstarch is a super fine grind, and it is often used as a thickener or binder in cooking. In some countries, such as the UK, cornflour is not widely available, and they refer to cornstarch and cornflour. It is important to know where your recipe comes from to avoid confusion of ingredients.

How many pounds of cornstarch do you add to 5 gallons of water to make a non-newtonian mixture?

the mixture for Oobleck (non newtonian fluid) is about 1.5 parts cornstarch for each part water

so for 5 gallons of water one needs 7.5 gallons of corn starch.

which means you would need a container that can hold 12.5 gallons.

I'm assuming you want to fill a 5 gallon container full of oobleck

so if you want to fill a 5 gallon conatiner with oobleck you have to use the relationship 1.5X+X=5. where x is the gallons of water and 1.5x is the gallons of oobleck.

which would give us 3 gallons of cornstarch and 2 gallons of water.

so given that cornstarch weighs .333lbs per cup.

3 gallons * 4quarts/gallon *4cups/quart = 48 cups

48cups * .333 lbs/cup ~ 16 lbs

so 16 lbs of cornstarch to 2 gallons of water will fill a 5 gallon container with oobleck. you may need to use a little more or less, but this should get you close to the right mixture.

In 1964 grandmother would walk around Memphis tenn with a box of rock cornstarch it was so good it would be nice to find rock cornstarch now?

I don't believe what you are remembering is called rock cornstarch. Perhaps what you are looking for is rock candy. This is a sweet that is condensed sugar and is rather old. What you do is make simple syrup, then let it evaporate. Simple syrup is made from 2 cups sugar and one cup water, boiled together until it becomes a syrup. Flavoring can be added to your taste, although vanilla is commonly used in rock candy. Today rock candy can still be found, usually as a treat on a stick. Check your local area for "rock candy".

Just a different word for carbohydrates, the stuff you find in bread and potatoes and pasta, which your body converts to glucose for energy.

== Answer --

Foods are made up of mainly three major ingredients -- fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are sort of like the family name for fiber, starches and sugars -- each one of these has its own unique characteristic. Sugars are simple in structure and can get into the blood stream quickly. Starches are more complex and the body has to break them down before they get into the blood stream. Fiber is even more complex and some of them cannot be broken down by the body.

ANSWER

The macro nutrients for a healthy diet are fats (lipids), starches (carbs), and proteins. Each gram of fat is 9 calories, each gram of carbohydrates is 4 calories, and each gram of protein is 4 calories. Carbs can be fiber, sugar, or starches. Fiber is indigestible to humans. To find the net carbs, you subtract the fiber from the total carbs to find net carbs. Sugar is the carbohydrate for quick energy and is also known as a simple carb. Starches are complex carbs meaning that they are long complex chains of simple sugars. These are broken down when digested into sugar or quick energy but take longer so you may not have a sugar spike and then crash. In the diabetic exchange system, one starch equals 80 calories and 0-3 crams of protein. This could be a piece of bread, a third cup of beans, or 3/4 cup of some cold cereals (depending on the amount of added sugar). Although the amount of starches you eat should be regulated, you should never take them completely out of your diet. Take this from a recovering anorexic, you will feel tired and drained. However do not eat to many starches that are refined, processed, have too much added sugar, or do not have fiber because these are also unhealthy and will lead to the same side affects.
