Potato Starch

Potato Starch

Potato starch is isolated from potatoes, renowned for exceptional viscosity, clarity, and rapid pasting at low temperatures for instant thickening. In the food industry, it delivers silky sauces with minimal cooking, enhances juiciness in processed meats via strong water binding, and creates shatteringly crisp coatings for snacks and noodles. Its high purity suits premium powdered mixes, instant products, and applications demanding visual clarity and powerful performance.

Food Industry Applications

• Soups, sauces, gravies: Pastes instantly at low heat in instant soups and pan sauces, providing silky body and gloss without prolonged stirring or boiling.

• Meat products: Solubilizes proteins in sausages and meatballs by strong water binding, improving yield, tenderness, and cohesive texture during cooking.

• Bakery, fillings: Thickens fruit fillings rapidly while tenderizing cakes by high swelling that captures syrups and steam without boil-over.

• Snacks, coatings: Forms thin, shatter-crisp shells in french fries, glass noodles, and coatings by quick gelatinization that crisps cleanly under teeth.

• Dairy, desserts: Mimics fat mouthfeel in puddings and creams by sheer volume and clarity, creating luxurious spoonable textures in cold-set products.

Other Industry Applications

In the paper industry, improves surface quality for printing and writing through sizing; in the textile industry, strengthens yarns during weaving in finishing processes; in the adhesives industry, provides rapid viscosity buildup for instant bonding.
