Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thickening agents, or thickeners, are hydrocolloids that increase the viscosity of a solution or mixture without significantly affecting its other properties, such as taste. Hydrocolloids are a heterogeneous group of long-chain polymers that, when dispersed in water, produce a thickening or viscous and gelling effect.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are plenty of situations that require the thickening power of a pantry starch: your pie filling, soup, sauce, gravy. Cornstarch, tapioca starch (also known as tapioca flour), arrowroot, potato starch and plain old wheat flour are typical options.
