The North America Potato Starch Market would witness market growth of 3.8% CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027).
Potato starch exists as semi-crystalline granules composed of two structural forms, long amylose and amylopectin chain lengths. When starch granules are exposed to certain moisture and heat, the granules form crystalline structures, swell and get softer and lose their shape, in a process called gelatinization. Moreover, when granules are burst, the molecules break down and surround water to form a thick mixture. Sometimes mixture becomes thicker and even rubbery when kept in the cooler temperature.
Amylose starch is also known as resistant starch. These types of starch are found in foods like corn, rice, potatoes, carrots, beans, lentils, and many other root vegetables rich in health benefits. Potato starch has the largest granule up to 100 micrometers as compared to another starch granule.
