Detailed Project Report on Potato Starch

POTATO STARCH

[CODE NO.4106] 

Native Potato Starch is basically a carbohydrate, consisting of amylose and amylopectin. 

Potato is widely consumed as food all over the world. It contains the starch as a major carbohydrate. Surplus and cull potatoes are used as feed for live stock and also as raw material for the manufacture of starch, ethyl-alcohal and a few other industrial products like, dextrose, liquid Glucose etc.

The potato contains approximately 18-21% of carbohydrates. The major carbohydrate is starch. This starch is comprising 65-80% of the dry weight of the tuber, is calorifically the most important nutritional component. In the raw tuber, it is present as microscopic granules in levcoplasts lining the interior cell walls of parenchyma tissue. The granule is ellipsoidal in shape, 100N*60N, with striations like an oyster shell. Under polarized light, the granule shows an irregular black cross.

Electron micrographs reveal a surprising smooth surface structure. The ratio of amylase to amylopectine in potato starch is 24:76 and the gelatinization temperature ranges from 56oC to 69oC with water this starch forms a translucent paste of high viscosity. Freshly harvested mature tubers contain more sugars than the large ones. A slight rise in total sugars is observed when tubers are stored at 20-30oC. However when the storage temperature is 4o or less., the total reducing sugars increase, the rate and extent of increase being greater when lower the temperature down to the freezing point. The maximum sugar concentration (3 to 10%) is reached after 4-8 weeks.

Potato starch is produced from varieties selected and grown for their high starch, low protein and low fibre contains. In USA and elsewhere, only surplus potatoes and tubes unsuitable for table use are used for starch production.

For starch manufacture, potatoes are washed and milled in a rasp or hammer mill to disintegrate the cells and liberate starch. Sulphur dioxide is added to inhibit the action of oxidizing enzymes and the slurry is passed through centrifugal separator to remove 'protein water'. The residual cake is mixed with water and the suspension pumped on to starch tables, where starch settles and major part of the fibre and soluble salts pass off. The cake is scrap off the table, mixed with water and passed through rotary vacuum filters. The cake obtained is the pure starch.

The raw material required for the manufacture potato starch is selected varieties of potato having high starch and low protein and low fibre contents.

• Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain starch grains (leucoplasts).

• To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed; 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.

• Potatoes contain around 20% starch, 2% fibres and 1% protein.

• Potato starch is a very refined starch, containing minimal protein or fat. This gives the powder a clear white colour.

• Potato starch absorbs and retains moisture to a far greater degree than wheat flour.

• 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.

• Potato starch and potato starch derivatives are used in many recipes, for example in noodles, wine gums, cocktail nuts, potato chips, hot dog sausages, bakery cream and instant soups and sauces, in gluten-free recipes.

• Potato starch is also used in technical applications as wallpaper adhesive, for textile finishing and textile sizing, in paper coating and sizing and as an adhesive in paper sacks and gummed tape.

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

• Potato starch also lowers plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, increases satiety, and possibly even reduces fat storage.

• Potato starch is gluten free, it is very useful for people with gluten intolerance or wheat sensitivity. It is also a good source of energy.

• The granule size of potato starch is definitely larger than other starches.

• Compared to other starches, potato starch has a higher phosphorus content. Due to higher phosphorus content, potato starch exhibits extremely high viscosity.
