Starches and Flours

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.

Potato Flakes

Used for snack foods and instant mashed potato as well as thickener and enhancer of creamy frozen desserts and gravies.

Potato Flour

A micro flake that attracts and holds water. Main applications are potato and moist yeast bread with an excellent shelf life. Potato flour as a thickener for smoother sauces, gravies and soups, and in gluten free cooking.

Potato Granules

Are cooked and dehydrated potatoes in a form of a dense, free flowing potato powder which re-hydrates very easily when added to the hot boiling water. Potato granules are used for potato puree, as ingredient for snack and potato pellets production and various fresh and frozen potato dishes (e.g. potato dumplings, croquettes, stuffed dumplings or noodles. Potato granules are as well used as thickener in dry soups and sauce mixes. Potato granules outperform potato flakes when it comes the preserving the original taste of potatoes
