Modified potato starch
Modified potato starch is a food ingredient made from potatoes, a starchy root vegetable. Potatoes are a common staple in many diets worldwide, known for their versatility in various dishes.
To create modified potato starch, potatoes undergo a process where the starch is extracted from the plant and then modified to improve its functionality in food products. This modification can involve physical, enzymatic, or chemical treatments to alter the starch's properties.
Food manufacturers often use modified potato starch in products like soups, sauces, baked goods, and snacks. It can act as a thickening agent, providing a smooth texture in sauces or soups, improving the shelf life of baked goods, or enhancing the crispiness of snacks like crisps. You may find modified potato starch listed on ingredient labels of products such as instant pudding, gluten-free bread, or potato-based snacks.
