Patato Starch

Product Description

Starch derivatives are used in many recipes, for example in noodles, gums, cocktail nuts, potato chips, hot dog sausages, bakery cream and instant soups and sauces, ingluten-free recipes^[3] in kosher foods for Passover^[4] and in Asian cuisine.^[5] In pastry, e.g. sponge cake, it is used to keep the cake moist and give a soft texture. It is also occasionally used in the preparation of pre-packed grated cheese, to reduce sweating and binding.

Other examples are helmipuuro, a porridge made from monodisperse grains of potato starch and milk, and papeda (the Moluccan community in the Netherlands uses potato starch to make papeda). It is also used in technical applications as wallpaper adhesive, for textile finishing and textile sizing, in paper coating and sizing, and as an adhesive inpaper sacks and gummed tape.

Potato starch was also used in one of the earlier color photography processes.
