The Ultimate Guide To Potato Processing

Potato is an important crop in both developed and developing countries. Approximately 68 percent of potato production is eaten for table purposes, while 7.5 percent is consumed for processing operations. Due to changing lifestyles and urbanisation, chips, dried foods, primarily instant mashed potatoes, frozen fries, and other frozen products are gaining popularity. Certain basic requirements for potato processing (chips and French fries) should be met, including form, size, texture, dry matter, and low susceptibility to the accumulation of reducing sugars. Processing potatoes with a high solid content/specific gravity are more efficient.


The falling sugar (glucose and fructose) content is basic in the quality, handling potatoes, as it contrarily effects the shading and type of completed item because of Malliard response (buildup of free amino acids and lessening sugars at a higher temperature) (buildup of free amino acids and lessening sugars at a higher temperature). Other than this, low, declining sugars and phenol components are needed to keep away from dim shading and unpleasant taste of handling products, which also contrarily influence consumer acknowledgment.

The potato chip's color and taste are two important factors that we consider more in potato processing. A light gold-yellow tone is preferred, but chips shaddered in dark brown colors are not acceptable. The most common chip size is 40-60mm, and there are many other varieties of potato chips, such as low-fat chips, etc. A potato chip (often referred to as a chip) is a small slice of potato that has been pan-fried or cooked till crisp. As a snack, side dish, or appetiser, they are frequently filled in. The basic chips are fried and salted; other flavours and fixings, such as spices, flavours, cheeses, other traditional flavours, counterfeit flavours, and added substances, are used to create further varieties.


Potato starch is a byproduct of potato processing and is used in a variety of businesses to make Native Potato Starch, Modified Potato Starch, Soups, Gravy, and Puddings. Starch is used as a softening agent in cakes, bread, biscuits, and cookies. Because of its firm constraining force, it is useful in the paper industry for covering smooth white paper. Other applications include the preparation of dextrins, adhesives, glues, medicines, and binder, among others.


The Washing Line is a section of the potato processing process, and it cleans filthy potatoes before they are handled. For this cycle, we are constantly developing fresh, useful innovations. The stages of your washing cycle will be determined by how the potatoes appear and how they will be cooked in the line.


Stripping lines for the stripping and washing of potatoes and tubers are built by Potato Processing so that you can be certain of a fantastic final product and minimal skin damage. The state of the potatoes and how clean they should be affect the peeling procedure. We can provide a perfect Blend of Peeling, Brushing, and After-Washing Machines based on your preferences.
