Native Potato Starch
Native potato starch is a fine, white, odorless powder obtained by physically isolating starch from fresh potatoes, without any chemical modification. It is characterized by high water‑binding capacity, strong thickening when heated, and formation of translucent white gels with a neutral taste, making it suitable for a wide range of food applications.
Source and Variants
Native potato starch comes from edible potato varieties grown for industrial processing. After washing, comminution, and fiber separation, starch granules are separated, washed, and dried to a stable moisture content.
It is typically supplied as:
- Standard powdered starch with different particle sizes
- Specially purified starch with reduced protein and fiber content
