Native Potato Starch is basically a carbohydrate, consisting of amylose and amylopectin. The quality and consistency of native Potato Starch produced by Siddharth Starch has made it a role model among Potato Starch users in India. In spite of being sole manufacturer of native Potato Starch in India, Siddharth Starch is supplying native Potato Starch to Indian customers at most competitive price. (there are other manufacturer of potato starch in INDIA such as Crystal agro product and Purthvi foods Gujarat) Siddharth Starch is also very responsive to needs of its clients and uses its laboratory and R&D facilities to tailor make modifications as required by Potato Starch users. Presently Siddharth Starch is manufacturing Potato Starch from recovery system installed in Potato processing companies
 
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  else where, 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.
 
ESTIMATED FUTURE DEMAND IN 10 YEARS
 
The future demand for potato starch depend upon the projected  growth, estimated penetration and quantity consumption in various types/sizes of products. Based on the present demand for potato starch having been estimated at 150,000 tons for 2014, the estimated demand for potato starch in the next 10 years has been derived by supplementing the demand with the assumed growth rates on  the  present  estimated  consumption  in  specified  product/categories.  The annual growth rates for future demand assessment by product category have been taken approximately as 5% .
