How Potato Flour Improves Smoothness and Bite\u003C\u002Fh2>\n        \u003Cp>\n          During potato-flour production, part of the potato starch is exposed to heat and moisture.\n          This changes how the ingredient absorbs water when added to noodle dough.\n        \u003C\u002Fp>\n        \u003Cp>\n          Properly processed potato flour can help distribute moisture more evenly

   The result comes from the interaction between potato solids,\n          wheat starch, gluten proteins, salt, water, and processing conditions.\n          When the formula is balanced, potato flour
