Potato flakes, potato granules, pregelatinized potato flour and native potato starch for food manufacturing
Four Core Potato Ingredient Categories

Potato Flakes, Potato Granules, Pregelatinized Potato Flour & Native Potato Starch

Food-grade dehydrated potato flakes for industrial food processing
01 / Bulk Potato Flakes

Food-Grade Potato Flakes

Dehydrated potato flakes made from cooked and mashed potatoes, selected where fast rehydration and potato solids are needed in industrial formulations.

  • Instant mashed potatoes and foodservice mash
  • Fabricated chips, extruded snacks and prepared foods
  • Buyer focus: mesh, moisture, reducing sugar, color and hydration

Bulk potato granules for chips instant mixes and food manufacturing
02 / Bulk Potato Granules

Food-Grade Potato Granules

Granular dehydrated potato ingredients used where dry-blend flow, particle distribution and a firmer rehydrated structure are relevant to the process.

  • Fabricated chips, puffed snacks and instant mixes
  • Dry blending and industrial ingredient handling
  • Buyer focus: particle size, bulk density, reducing sugar and texture
Review Potato Granules →
Pregelatinized potato flour for rapid hydration instant foods sauces and dry mixes
03 / Pregelatinized Potato Flour

Pregelatinized Potato Flour

Heat-treated potato flour, also described in some markets as extruded potato powder, selected where rapid cold-water hydration, water absorption or instant viscosity is needed. It is not the same as native potato starch.

  • Instant foods, dry mixes, sauces, fillings and prepared foods
  • Function depends on dosage, water ratio, shear and processing conditions
  • Buyer focus: hydration speed, water absorption, viscosity, mouthfeel and labeling
Review Pregelatinized Potato Flour →
Food-grade native potato starch for thickening gelling and binding
04 / Native Potato Starch

Native Potato Starch

Unmodified potato starch for formulations that require potato-starch thickening, gelling or binding under suitable processing conditions.

  • Soups, sauces, noodles, fillings and meat products
  • Function depends on temperature, shear, pH and formula
  • Buyer focus: viscosity, moisture, purity, whiteness and microbiology

Choose by Finished Application

Start with the Finished Food and Processing Requirement

Use these examples for initial product routing. Detailed application conditions and ingredient-selection guidance are available on the Solutions page.

Fabricated Potato Chips

Compare ingredient routes by dough behavior, reducing sugar, fried color and processing conditions.

Instant Mashed Potatoes

Evaluate rehydration speed, water ratio, smoothness and holding performance.

Soups & Sauces

Review texture, viscosity, process temperature and shear before selecting an ingredient route.

Instant Foods & Dry Premixes

Compare hydration speed, flowability, dispersibility and compatibility with the complete dry blend.

Before Sample Selection

What Information Should Buyers Provide Before a Sample Trial?

Finished Product & Process

Provide the finished food, processing method, main equipment and relevant heating, frying, mixing or shear conditions.

Target Product Parameters

Provide the required particle size, hydration, reducing-sugar or color target, viscosity, texture or other application-specific criteria.

Commercial & Document Requirements

Provide the estimated quantity, packing preference, destination port and required TDS, COA or supporting documents.
