APPLICATIONS
Snack Pellets
Potato starch helps to improve the texture and crispness and makes the product softer, crispier & reduces oil absorption upon frying of extruded pellets. To extend the shelf life of the product, potato starch is being used. It’s widely utilised in the production of ready-to-eat chips, snacks, and cereal pellets.
Pharmaceuticals
Potato Starch is employed as a diluent, binder, and lubricant in many traditional tablets and capsules. Starch has important intrinsic qualities that allow it to be used in pharmaceuticals. Because of its extensive inherent qualities, low cost, variety in use, and ease of modification, potato starch has a high value in medication delivery.
Nutraceuticals
Potato starch is a Plant-based starch that is well known as emulsifiers, fillers, and binders and is particularly useful in nutraceutical applications. They are utilized in the production of a wide range of dosage forms, including swallowable tablets, hard capsules, blends, granules, and pellets premix.
Soups, Sauces & Gravies
Because of its low gelatinization temperature and neutral flavour, potato starch thickens sauces, soups and gravies without affecting their flavour.
Bakery
Some of the most desirable qualities of employing potato starch in bakery products include its high water-binding capacity, low gelatinization temperatures, and inclination to make reasonably clear, extremely viscous pastes. It’s widely used in baked foods to thicken, gel, texturize, and improve crispiness.
Confectionery
Confectioners frequently utilise potato starch because it plays a vital role in improving the palatability, smoothness, and firmness for structure of food.A neutral flavour and good binding strength makes potato starch a preferred moulding agent.
Dairy
Potato starch is an excellent emulsifying and thickening agent with properties of smooth and shiny texture. On account of these properties,it is widely used in products like fresh cheese, processed cheese, imitation cheese, yogurt, sweets, ice cream, and a variety of dairy items.
Meat
In cooked meat products, potato starch is the only starch that does not require significant adjustments in processing conditions. Potato starch is essential in meat because of its excellent viscosity, rapid swelling, and high-water binding capacity, neutral flavour and low gelatinization temperature.
Pet Food
Potato starch can be used to improve the texture and binding characteristics of pet food. Because potato starch is gluten-free, it is appropriate for grain-free meals for cats, dogs, and other pet animals. Potato starch is a multipurpose ingredient that provides an excellent foundation for any pet diet.
Adhesive
Potato starch is a biodegradable, renewable, and sustainable natural raw material. It has an excellent adhesive capacity when it comes to gluing materials such as paper and board, and to create aluminum/paper laminates, and crafting.
