It is a very refined starch, containing minimal fat and protein. This gives the potato starch powder a clear white color that is odorless and neutrally tasting. The size of potato starch granules allows it to have a much higher water absorption capacity and better texture than other starches. As an additive to food processing, it is commonly used to thicken, gel, and texturize. Native potato starch also has good clarity and transparency, high binding strength, low gelatinization temperatures, high swelling power, and minimal tendency to foam. In fact, it does not yellow the pastes or solutions, which results in relatively clear pastes. Also, it provides high viscosity and heightens the taste, odor, and color of the food in which it is used, thanks to the low protein and fat-lipid content. This makes potato starch a very flexible ingredient in many foods. Potato starch is in gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan friendly. It is important to note that potato starch is not potato flour.

However, it does not stand up as well as grain starches to longer cooking so it is best used to thicken sauces toward the very end of the cooking or food preparation process. Potato starch powder can tolerate higher temperatures than potato starch when used as a thickener. Also, it can be used to replace cornstarch in most baking recipes. It is a natural way to add moistness to baked goods and gluten-free baking.
