STARCH FROM rOT AIoIfS.


CIV NiCc-ConSul Frederic w. Cauld-
vel Of l}erlin.)
Potatoes are the principal source Of
the starch manufactured IN Germany.
and that potato starch. known as "kar-
tonelmehl." enters extensively into
German export trade.
The potatoes are first thoroughly
washed ana then mashed between
heavy rolling cylinders. on the surface
of which there are grooves and teeth
to tear UP the potato cells. The Starch
is washed out OF this ground up pup
hy means OF running water. The re
sulting So-called "starch-mllk Is hrst
trained through wire or silk screens or
through perforated copper plates 10
remove the cell pulp, after when It Is
allowed to flow directly into cement
settling watts or caves, or 1T may hrst
be led over small gently sloping
trouehs or drains, upon which the
pllrest Of starch then settles.
The starch from the settling vat.
and from the settling drains is refined
by being rinsed in stirring Nats. and
the impurities and cell substances are
skinned or dipped off. The water is
then removed by special centrifugal
HYDRO extractors and the resulting so
called green starch" is generally
worked up into dextrin and sugar.
For producing the starch Of commerce
it must be further dried in specially
constructed dying chambers. The
potatO pulp, or cell stuff, left over is
Subjected to a renewal of the refining
process or it may be dried and fed to
stock
