Potato starch is starch
extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato
plant contain starch grains (leucoplasts).
- To extract the starch, the
potatoes are crushed; the starch grains are released from the destroyed
cells. The starch is then washed out and dried to powder.
- Potato starch contains typical
large oval spherical granules; their size ranges between 5 and 100 μm.
- Potatoes contain around 20%
starch, 2% fibres and 1% protein.
- Potato starch is a very
refined starch, containing minimal protein or fat. This gives the powder
a clear white colour.
- The cooked starch typical
characteristics of neutral taste, good clarity, high binding strength,
long texture and a minimal tendency to foaming or
yellowing of the solution.
- 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.
- Potato starch is also used in technical applications as wallpaper
adhesive, for textile finishing and textile sizing, in paper coating
and sizing and as an adhesive in paper sacks and gummed tape.
- Potato starch was also used in
one of the earlier color photography processes.
- Potato starch also lowers
plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, increases satiety,
and possibly even reduces
fat storage.
- Potato starch is gluten free,
it is very useful for people with gluten intolerance or wheat
sensitivity. It is also a
good source of energy.
- The granule size of potato
starch is definitely larger than other starches.
- Compared to other starches,
potato starch has a higher phosphorus content. Due to higher phosphorus
content, potato starch exhibits extremely high viscosity.
- In Japan the output of potato
starch is 250,000 tons
per year.
- The present demand for the
proposed product is estimated at 23.3 tones per annum. The demand is
expected to reach at 64.29 tones by the year 2022.
- The physicochemical
characteristics of potato starch, its end use markets are different from
those for wheat/maize starch. The volume of potato starch imported into
the UK is sufficient to justify the construction of a potato starch
plant in the UK,on the basis that import figures are higher than the
capacity of most existing potato starch processing plants.
