Can native starch be used directly in acid sauces?
It needs testing. High acidity combined with heat and shear may call for modified starch. For Potato Starch sourcing, separate whole-potato-solids needs from thickening and binding functions first. If the project also compares Potato Flakes or Potato Granules, review viscosity method, process conditions, sample, TDS and COA separately.
What if the sauce becomes too thick after cooling?
Review dosage, solids, cooling profile and starch type. For Potato Starch sourcing, separate whole-potato-solids needs from thickening and binding functions first. If the project also compares Potato Flakes or Potato Granules, review viscosity method, process conditions, sample, TDS and COA separately.
Why does viscosity vary between batches?
Raw material, test conditions, solids and real processing all affect the result, so methods must be standardised. For Potato Starch sourcing, separate whole-potato-solids needs from thickening and binding functions first. If the project also compares Potato Flakes or Potato Granules, review viscosity method, process conditions, sample, TDS and COA separately.
Can viscosity numbers from different Potato Starch suppliers be compared directly?
Only when concentration, temperature programme, instrument, speed and test method are comparable. Buyer approval should also include sample behaviour in the actual formulation. For China Potato Flour sourcing, start from the finished food and process, then define whether Potato Flakes or Potato Granules should enter the first trial. Keep the approved sample, specification, TDS, COA and quotation aligned to the same grade.
Can we request a sample, TDS and COA before a bulk order?
Yes. After the exact product direction is defined, discuss the sample and applicable technical documents together. Share the finished food, key process, target performance and expected volume so the sample grade, TDS, COA and quotation refer to the same sourcing project.
What information helps us receive a more accurate quotation?
Provide the product or application, expected volume, packing, destination country or port and the preferred trade term such as FOB, CFR or CIF. Add any technical, certification or labelling requirements before quotation. For China Potato Flour sourcing, start from the finished food and process, then define whether Potato Flakes or Potato Granules should enter the first trial.
