Potato Starch
Native Starch for High Viscosity and Water Binding
Potato starch is a native starch separated from the potato tuber; its large granules (15–100 microns) gelatinise at low temperature and deliver high viscosity. With its neutral taste, clear gel and strong water-binding capacity it is used in meat products, instant soups and sauces, noodles and pasta, bakery, snacks and gluten-free products. PERDIST compares starch purity, moisture, viscosity (Brabender/RVA), sulphur dioxide residue and microbiological values against the supplier specification for wholesale potato starch requests and offers food-grade, non-GMO options with their documents. For wholesale potato starch PERDIST proposes a lot against your viscosity, whiteness and moisture expectations; a sample and the batch document accompany the quotation. For meat, sauce and gluten-free bakery producers, packaging and delivery are arranged together. At higher volumes the delivery programme can be split into lots.
Product and Application Details
| Product definition | Native (unmodified) food-grade potato starch obtained from potato (Solanum tuberosum); gluten-free. |
|---|---|
| Typical properties | Starch ≥ 98% (dry basis), moisture ≤ 20%, ash ≤ 0.5%, SO₂ ≤ 10 mg/kg, granule size 15–100 µm, white colour, gelatinisation 58–65 °C. Values vary by supplier specification. |
| Applications | Meat products such as sausages, cold cuts and meatballs, instant soups and sauces, noodles, pasta and dumplings, bakery and cake mixes, snacks and extruded products, gluten-free bakery. |
| Formulation note | Gives a higher peak viscosity than other native starches but loses viscosity under prolonged cooking and shear; consider modified options for those applications. Typical usage 1–6%. |
| Documents | Specification, COA, gluten-free and non-GMO statements, allergen statement and origin document are shared with the quotation to the extent the supplier provides them. |
| Shelf life and storage | Typically 24 months in unopened packaging; store dry, cool and odour-free. |
| Packaging | Typically 25 kg kraft bags with PE inner liner; pallets of 1000 kg. Big bags (500–1000 kg) considered on request. |
| Minimum order | Usually one pallet (1000 kg). Smaller quantities for trial production are stated in the quotation depending on product and supplier. |
