Potato starch plays a key role in many food industries, especially in the meat industry. Probitech, working with reputable manufacturers, offers high-quality Superior Standard potato starch from the “ZETPEZET” Potato Industry Plant in Pila. Thanks to its unique properties and versatile applications, potato starch is becoming an indispensable additive in the production of meat products.
Properties of potato starch – how does it affect meat products?
Potato starch is characterized by its ability to swell and form a glue when heating an aqueous suspension. This property is extremely important in meat production, as it helps maintain the proper texture, consistency and volume of the finished product. When in contact with heat and water, starch absorbs moisture, forming a sticky mass that improves the binding of ingredients, which translates into stability of the final product.
In meat products, potato starch plays a role:
- thickener – increases the volume of products, which is important in the production of sausages, sausages or other products,
- water-binding – helps retain water, which prevents meat from drying out and affects the juiciness of products,
- Stabilizer – improves consistency, allowing the desired form and texture to be maintained.
Advantages of potato starch in the meat industry
- Neutral taste and smell – Superior Standard potato starch has no distinct taste or smell, so it does not affect the aroma of finished meat products. It is an ideal solution that does not change the flavor profile of the product.
- Safety and purity – the offered starch meets the highest safety standards. Produced in Poland, it is free of heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury and cadmium, and contains no allergenic substances. The starch is not genetically modified (GMO-free), making it suitable for a wide range of consumers, including vegans, vegetarians and people with celiac disease.
- High quality and control – each stage of potato starch production at “ZETPEZET” plants is strictly controlled to ensure compliance with the highest standards. The product is packaged in paper bags of 25 kg, which ensures ease of storage and transportation.
How does potato starch affect production efficiency?
Thanks to its ability to bind water and form a glue-like structure, potato starch helps optimize technological processes. It facilitates the shaping of meat products and increases their yield, which directly reduces production costs. In addition, starchy glue improves the texture and juiciness of meat, which in turn increases the attractiveness of final products in the eyes of consumers.
Thanks to its high viscosity (1,100 Bu – 1,650 Bu), the starch offered by Probitech is an ideal choice for producers who are looking for an ingredient to support the production process of meat products with stable and predictable quality.
Wide application of potato starch in meat industry
Superior Standard potato starch is used in many meat products, including:
- Steamed and smoked sausages,
- pates,
- poultry meats,
- sausages,
- molded products.
Its ability to bind water and stabilize the product helps extend the shelf life of products, which is crucial in large-scale production, especially for products intended for long storage. In addition, thanks to its properties, starch helps reduce the weight loss of products during thermal processing, which has a positive impact on the final economic outcome of production.
