Potato Starch

Definition & Applications

Potato Starch is a high-quality, food-grade, free-flowing powder derived from potato tubers. It is insoluble in cold water and organic solvents but forms a smooth, transparent gel when heated with water. Due to its excellent gelling, thickening, and moisture-retention properties, Potato Starch is a versatile ingredient used in various food applications, serving as a thickening agent, binder, and texturizer.
