Scope note:

A starch obtained from the tubers of the Maranta arundinacea plant native to Florida, the West Indies and Central America. Arrowroot starch is used as a binder and adhesive. In the mid 1850s, arrowroot starch was used as a binder in salted photographic papers. It produced a bright image with a good density range and high resolution.
