Potato Starch
Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes.
Potato starch is a very refined starch, containing minimal amount of protein or fat. Potato starch gives the powder a clear white colour, and the cooked starch typical characteristics as neutral taste, good clarity, high binding strength, long texture and a minimal tendency of foaming or yellowing of the solution.
Potato starch contains approximate 800 ppm phosphate bound to the starch; this increases the viscosity and gives the solution a slightly anionic character, a low gelatinization temperature (approximately 140F/60 Deg C and high swelling power. These typical properties are used in food and technical applications.
Use
Potato starch and potato starch derivatives are used in many recipes, for example in Noodles, wine gums, cocktail nuts, potato chips, hot dog sausages, bakery cream and instant soups and sauces, in gluten-free recipes and in kosher for Passover foods Potato starch also used in technical applications as wallpaper glue, for textile finishing and textile sizing, in paper coating and sizing and as paper sacks adhesive. Potato starch also occasionally used in the preparation of pre-packed grated cheese, to reduce the cheese sweating and binding.
