Dialdehyde starch is a polysaccharide derived by chemical modification from natural starch from wheat or corn. It is prepared by periodate oxidation of starch.^[1]

There are many uses including the paper industry, where in it has been shown to improve the wet strength of consumer products. These products include toilet paper and paper towels.^[2]
