Potato Starch is made from cleaned potato powder, filtered, precipitated, and the resulting precipitate can be obtained by drying, and it can be used as a thickening agent. Potato Flour is also commonly referred to as potato starch, not to be confused with the two. Although used to thicken the consistency is not too white powder, but in some baked goods, it can retain moisture. Potato powder is heavier than Taibai powder. Potato powder still has the taste of potato, and too white powder has no obvious taste.
The advantages of potato starch are: large particle size, large viscosity, low gelatinization temperature, strong water absorption and high paste transparency. In sweets, potato starch is used as a filler and icing. Adding potato starch to confectionery ingredients can increase the volume of confectionery, improve the taste and chewability of the product, increase elasticity and delicacy, and effectively prevent the deformation and discoloration of the sugar body, and extend the shelf life of the product;
Adding potato starch to the dough will increase the toughness of the dough, increase the elasticity, significantly improve the water absorption, reduce the oil content of the dough, and make the noodles taste delicate and smooth, which is more loved by men, women and children.
Similarly, potato starch is indispensable in the production of meat products. Due to the very high transparency of potato starch gelatinization, it can prevent the color of meat products, so it can reduce the use of other additives and maintain the tender color of meat for a long time. Potato starch can also make the food lock moisture, prevent loss, avoid causing food corruption, but also make the structure of the food organization look better.
Potato starch is widely used in textile, oil mining, feed and food industries, especially the development of international and domestic food markets, so that the demand for high-precision potato starch increases sharply, coupled with potato starch has other starch irreplaceable natural attributes, making it the first choice for starch deep processing industry at home and abroad, with broad sales and promising market prospects.
