Potato starch is an important ingredient in the food industry and has a wide range of uses in the food industry. It is also one of the essential raw materials in daily life, such as frying, cooking and stir-frying, making soup thickening are indispensable to use starch. Division mainly for the national standard GB8884-88 edible potato starch grade. Its main properties: high viscosity, high transparency, low pasting temperature, strong water absorption, large expansion force. Widely used in food, pharmaceutical and other industries. It is the second largest carbohydrate source after cellulose. Potato, commonly known as potato and yam, contains about 17% starch. Thus it is the most suitable plant for starch production.
Potato starch has a pasting temperature of 58-65 degrees Celsius, a consistency of 2000 BU, and a branched-chain starch content of about 80 percent. Compared with other varieties of starch, the excellent quality and unique properties of potato starch are mainly reflected in the following aspects: firstly, potato starch has the highest viscosity, which can be used as a thickener, and when used in small doses, it has been able to obtain a suitable viscosity; and potato starch molecules have a high degree of polymerization (about 3,000), large particles, and therefore have a high degree of expansion, excellent water retention performance, suitable for puffed food, meat products and instant noodles and other products.
In addition, potato starch has low protein and fat residue, high phosphorus content and white color with natural phosphorescence, and the transparency of the solution is also high, so it can improve the color and appearance of the products. In addition, potato starch has a particularly mild taste, without the typical grain flavor of corn or wheat starch, and can be used even in flavor-sensitive products. Furthermore, due to the low pasting temperature of potato starch, the viscosity increases rapidly, which is conducive to saving energy. It is also worth noting that due to its high branched-chain starch content, gelation and aging rarely occur.
The treasure of cooking---a high-quality potato starch
Potato starch is a high-quality starch suitable for use in cooking, which can be widely used for raw materials sizing, hanging paste, and used as a raw material adhesive coating and shaping. At present, the potato starch used in cooking has the following characteristics: high viscosity, fast thickening, low dosage; starch paste crystal clear, good luster; taste and mild, can keep the original flavor of the dishes. Three rivers brand potato starch with its excellent whiteness, viscosity, pasting, transparency, emulsifier, thickener, stabilizer, bulking agent, excipient, etc., suitable for food, puffed food, meat products, frozen food, sauces puree soup food, beverage, paste, cooking, sugar, aquatic products processing industry.
. Low protein, low acidity and good film-forming properties, anti-coagulation and other physical and chemical indicators, to become a variety of starch in the top quality, widely used in food, pharmaceutical, chemical and other dozens of industrial fields. In the food industry, it can be used
