The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain starch grains (leucoplasts). To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed, and the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then washed out and dried to powder.

Potato starch contains typical large oval spherical granules, their size ranges between 5 and 100 μm. Potato starch is a very refined starch, containing minimal protein or fat. This gives the powder a clear white color, and the cooked starch typical characteristics of neutral taste, good clarity, high binding strength, long texture and a minimal tendency to foaming or yellowing of the solution.

Characteristics

Potato starch contains approximately 800 ppm phosphate bound to the starch, this increases the viscosity and gives the solution a slightly anionic character, a low gelatinization temperature (approximately 140 °F or 60 °C), and high swelling power.

Main advantages of potato starch:

  • Neutral taste
  • White color
  • transparent gel
  • Soft creamy texture, possible fat replacer
  • GMO-, gluten- and allergen-free
  • Great digestibility

Applications

  • To use as a thickener, first, dissolve the starch in a small amount of water to create a slurry, then add to sauce and stir until thickened. Potato starch loses its thickening ability when boiled, so it is best added near the end of cooking time in hot dishes.
  • Add to baked goods (especially gluten-free) for better texture and binding.

Organic Cornstarch https://www.bio-starch.com/products/organic-corn-starch/ Thu, 03 Sep 2020 10:06:39 +0000 https://www.bio-starch.com/?post_type=product&p=11902 What’s organic cornstarch?

Organic Cornstarch is gluten-free with no additives or preservatives. it is 100% natural and completely Non-GMO. Cornstarch is a wonderful thickening and stabilizing agent. It can be used in baby foods, medicines, sauces, and other processed food mixes. Corn starch is the preferred anti-stick agent on medical products and the major source of glucose for humans.

Corn starch is starch that is ground from the white endosperm at the heart of a kernel of corn. It’s used as a thickening agent in cooking, a health-conscious alternative to talc, and the main ingredient in biodegradable plastic. Powdered sugar also includes a small amount so that it does not clump.

We supply the EU & USDA-certified organic cornstarch and organic waxy corn starch. They are all 100% gluten-free and Non-GMO.

Characteristics & Application

1. Corn starch is used as a thickening agent in liquid-based foods (e.g., soup, sauces, gravies, custard), usually by mixing it with a lower-temperature liquid to form a paste or slurry. It is sometimes preferred over flour alone because it forms a translucent mixture, rather than an opaque one. As the starch is heated, the molecular chains unravel, allowing them to collide with other starch chains to form a mesh, thickening the liquid (Starch gelatinization).
2. It is usually included as an anti-caking agent in powdered sugar (10X or confectioner’s sugar). Baby powder often includes Corn starch among its ingredients.
3. Corn starch when mixed with a fluid can make a non-Newtonian fluid, e.g. adding water makes Oobleck, and adding oil makes an Electrorheological fluid.
4. A common substitute is arrowroot, which replaces Corn starch on a 1:1 ratio.
5. It is added to a batter that coated chicken nuggets increased oil absorption and crispness after the latter stages of frying.
6. It can be used to manufacture bioplastics.
7. It is the preferred anti-stick agent on medical products made from natural latex, including condoms, diaphragms, and medical gloves. Prior usage of talc was abandoned as talc was believed to be a carcinogen.
8. Food producers reduce production costs by adding varying amounts of Corn starch to foods, for example to cheese and yogurt. This is more common in the United States of America where the Congress and the Department of Agriculture subsidize and reduce its cost to food manufacturers.
9. When roasted in a standard oven it produced dextrin, a chemical compound with uses ranging from adhesive to binder for fireworks.
10. It is used to supply glucose to humans who have glycogen storage disease (GSD). Without this, they would not thrive (i.e. little, if any, weight gain) and thus die. Corn starch can be used starting at age 6 – 12 months which allows feeds to be spaced and glucose fluctuations to be minimized.

Waxy Corn Starch https://www.bio-starch.com/products/waxy-corn-starch/ Tue, 14 Sep 2021 08:32:31 +0000 https://www.bio-starch.com/?post_type=product&p=12970 What is waxy corn starch?

Waxy corn starch is obtained by wet milling and extraction of waxy corn. The content of amylopectin is more than 95%. It is a kind of polysaccharide substance with different molecular weights. The degree of polymerization is between 600-6000. It is a special starch variety with a high price and wide application. It has been widely used in bakery food, children’s food, puffed food, frozen food, and other food industries.

Characteristic

Wax corn starch is widely used in different industries, but almost all have to be heated and gelatinized before they can be used. After gelatinization, the properties of the paste, such as point degree, transparency, shear resistance, and retrogradation, have a significant impact on its application effect.

In waxy corn starch, amylopectin exists in the form of a double helical structure, which forms a crystalline region through hydrogen bond association and is heated to provide energy to break the oxygen bond, thereby causing gelatinization. The gelatinization process can be regarded as the melting process of starch crystallites.

The particles undergo a phase transition from order to disorder. This process includes water absorption and heat absorption of starch particles, swelling and hydration, the disappearance of crystalline state, and a sharp increase in paste point. Large and complicated phenomena.

Mung Bean Starch https://www.bio-starch.com/products/mung-bean-starch/ Thu, 03 Sep 2020 10:13:54 +0000 https://www.bio-starch.com/?post_type=product&p=11907 The mung bean (Vigna radiata), alternatively known as the moong bean, green gram, or mung Sanskrit mudra, is a plant species in the legume family. The mung bean is mainly cultivated in India, China, and Southeast Asia. Chinese people cultivated mung bean for almost 2000 years, spread everywhere in China, in many types, and in big volumes. Other countries in South Asia, North America, Brazil, and Europe cultivate mung beans also. Major mung bean cultivating provinces of China is An Hui, Henan, Hebei, Hubei, Liaoning, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Sichuan. It is used as an ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes.

The mung bean starch is also extracted from them to make jellies and “transparent/cellophane” noodles. In Vietnam, the transparent wrapping of Vietnamese spring rolls is made from mung bean flour. In Filipino cuisine, meat is sauteed with garlic, onions, and bay leaves, then mung beans are added and cooked. Mung batter is used to make crepes named Pesarattu in Andhra Pradesh, India, copying other Southeast Asian cooking methods. Vitamins, calcium, iron, and phosphorus ratio are higher than in crude rice. So it got good value both as food and as medicine, in the hot summer, mung bean soup is a nice to drink for local folks to drive away heat.
