Potato Starch is produced through a process of mechanical separation of starch grains from the remainder of a potato. When used in an aqueous suspension that is heated to around 63°C, potato starch granules swell and then create a high viscous paste that will decrease upon further heating. Potato Starch is used in many segments of the food industry and has a high water-binding capacity compared to other native starches.
