Berner Industries’ potato starch, produced in Kokemäki, Finland, offers the food and feed industries a multifunctional and effective ingredient that enhances product texture, usability, and nutritional value.
Structure matters – especially in gluten-free products
The technical properties of potato starch make it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications. It effectively binds ingredients, forms a clear gel at low temperatures, and provides high viscosity. These characteristics play a crucial role in sauces, puddings, baked goods, and ready meals – particularly when product texture and appearance are essential to the user experience.
In gluten-free applications, the structure-enhancing properties of starch support smoother production and improve final product quality. Naturally gluten-free and well-tolerated, potato starch is a desirable ingredient for producers catering to consumers with allergies or special dietary needs.
Nutritional benefits: prebiotic effect
Approximately 60% of potato starch is resistant starch, which functions as a prebiotic in the gut. This makes it an attractive option for products aiming to support digestive health – without added fiber or artificial ingredients.
