Feb 17 (Reuters) - Corn Products International Inc's quarterly results beat market estimates helped by sales from its newly acquired National Starch business, and the company forecast higher 2011 revenue.

Corn Products -- a provider of ingredients to industries including food, beverage, pharma, animal feed, corrugating, paper and textile -- expects to earn $3.60-$3.90 a share on revenue of $6 billion in 2011.

Analysts on average were expecting it to earn $3.73 a share and revenue of $5.73 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

October-December profit fell to $53.5 million, or 67 cents a share, from $57.4 million, or 74 cents a share, a year ago.

Excluding items, it earned $1.05 a share, against estimates of 73 cents.

Net sales rose by almost half to $1.41 billion, above expectation of $1.1 billion.

In June, Corn Products said it will buy the National Starch business of Dutch paints firm AkzoNobel for $1.3 billion in cash.

The company's shares closed at $48.60 Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.
