Wheat starch can also make edible films, coatings, and adhesives. For example, it is used in the paper industry for sizing and coating. In addition, it serves as a binder. As a food additive, it has the E number E422. It is also used as an agent to prevent ice crystal formation in frozen products.

Due to the presence of gluten, some persons may be allergic to wheat starch. Although the gluten protein is frequently removed after processing, some leftover gluten may exist. Some wheat products, however, can be used to make gluten-free and low-gluten dishes.

Many plants contain the carbohydrate known as native wheat starch. This component is made of white to off-white plants. This plant-based ingredient has a taste that is neutral to mild, odorless, and white to off-white in color. Although it has numerous additional uses in food, the main purpose of wheat starch is as a thickening agent.

Starch comprises two ingredients, amylose and amylopectin (Hamani, 2018). The ratio of amylopectin to amylose has absorbable properties of varying kinds based on the respective amylopectin to amylose ratio, including solubility, viscosity, gel stability, shear flexibility, protein gelatinization, and recrystallization.
