POTATO BASED

Eco Agri offers a wide range of potato-based starches and flours originated from Europe. Products are offered in line with the European potato campaign that starts around August.

Native & Pre-Cooked Potato Starches

Clean label starches free from E-numbers (food additives). Main applications are soups, sauces, snacks, surimi, processed sea food and processed meat where it used as a thickener, binder, texturizer, anti-caking, or gelling agent. Available native potato starches:

• Standard viscosity

• High viscosity

• Low Moisture (9%, 12% residue of water)

Modified Potato Starch

Chemically modified starches contain an E-number; the declaration is Modified starch. Oxidized starch (E1404) is a suitable carrier for food mixtures exhibiting low viscosities after hot preparation. Compared to native starches, acetylated cook-up starches (E1420) are characterized through lower gelatinization temperatures and an improved stability against retrogradation. Regarding heat treatment, acidic conditions and shear forces, di-starch phosphates (E1412) are stable in terms of their viscosity. Acetylated di-starch phosphates (E1414) and adipates (E1422) additionally exhibit excellent freeze-thaw stability as well as clear appearance of the final preparation. Starch sodium octenyl succinate (E1450) exhibits emulsifying properties making it perfectly suitable in the application of oil-inwater applications.
