Starch

Starch is the most common carbohydrate in our food and is found in potatoes, bread, pasta and rice and is used in powder form, for example, potato flour or arrowroot as thickening agent. Starch consists of molecular chains of glucose. In warm weather, the plants produce more energy than they consume and the surplus is then stored in the form of starch.

In perfumes, starch produces a powdery, mild scent.
