What are the main uses of potato starch?

Background knowledge of potato starch

Potato starch is a high-quality starch that is particularly favored because of its unique qualities and functions that no other starch can replace. Potato is a widely planted economic crop and occupies an important position in the world's food production. Currently, there are more than 100 countries producing potatoes in the world, mainly in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, among which China, Russia, Poland etc. are the main producing countries of potatoes, with a total output of about 3×108t. The data survey shows that the industrial processing conversion rate of potatoes in developed countries is as high as 80%. This is not only because of the high starch content in fresh potatoes, but also because of the excellent characteristics of potato starch and its modified starch which make it widely used in various industries.

Good quality potato starch

Performance introduction of potato starch

1.Large particle size and high viscosity

Because potato starch granules are larger than other starch granules and have high viscosity, a paste with high consistency can be prepared, making its quality and grade in industrial applications much higher than other starches.

2.Low gelatinization temperature

The gelatinization temperature of potato starch can prolong the shelf life of products added with it, so it is widely used as a stabilizer in food, daily chemical and other industries.

3.Mild taste

Potato starch has a mild taste, no irritation, and does not have the typical grain taste like corn and wheat starch, so it is the best choice for food additives.

Application industry of potato starch

1.Application in candy

Adding potato starch to candy ingredients can increase the volume of candy, improve the taste and chewiness of the product, and increase elasticity and fineness.

2.Application in pasta

Adding potato starch to the dough will increase the gluten toughness and elasticity of the dough, reduce the oil content of the dough, and make the noodles delicate and smooth.

3.Application in meat products

Because the transparency of potato starch is very high after gelatinization, it can prevent the color change of meat products.

4.Application in dairy products

Because potato starch has strong water absorption, formability, gelatinization, melting and expansion, it can also increase the viscosity, transparency and taste of yogurt.

5.Application in other industries

Due to its strong water absorption and gelatinization, adding potato starch to the printing and dyeing slurry in large dyeing and weaving factories and paper mills can make the dyed fabrics and papers have good properties. Better color and quality.

What potato starch can be used for

Potato starch is widely used in textile, oil extraction, feed and food industries, especially the development of international and domestic food markets, so that the demand for high-precision potato starch has soared. In addition, potato starch has the irreplaceable natural properties of other starches, making it the first choice product in the starch deep processing industry at home and abroad, with broad sales and promising market prospects.
