POTATO STARCH IN CHEESE

Potato starch as functional ingredient in cheese

Achieving the correct melt, stretch, and mouthfeel is critical for Product Development Managers working within dairy and plant-based cheese. Potato starch supports these requirements by enabling a balanced gel structure that responds predictably to thermal processing.

In cheese applications, potato starch can help replace milk ingredients and substitute casein:

  Stretching for mozzarella-type applications
  Melt control for processed cheese
  SOS elastic texture in slice-on-slice formats
