Application

Starch from potato serves numerous purposes across diverse applications. As a carbohydrate, it primarily consists of glucose units arranged in two polymers: amylose and amylopectin. This composition imparts unique properties to potato starch, such as insolubility in cold water, while heating causes the granules to swell, burst, and form a paste. In industrial and pharmaceutical contexts, starch from potato acts as an essential excipient in tablet formulations, offering roles as a binder, diluent, and disintegrant. It's employed for volume adjustment in capsule filling, and its properties enhance powder flow, acting as an effective antiadherent and lubricant. Furthermore, leveraging its absorbent qualities, potato starch finds application in topical preparations. Its adaptability extends to novel drug delivery systems, improving the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs and serving as a carrier in amorphous drug preparations. In clinical nutrition, potato starch varieties high in amylose contribute as insoluble fiber, benefiting gut health and offering targeted delivery applications.
