Potential of utilization of by-products from potato starch production

The main polysaccharide is starch, which due to its wide application in industry strives to isolate itself from food as much as possible due to its great potential. One of the foods rich in starch are potatoes, which are used for its production due to the relatively high proportion of starch. The starch production industry aims to obtain the highest possible starch yield. This process is quite complex and demanding and involves a number of steps. During the processing of potatoes into starch, a significant amount of by-products are created, the disposal of which is a big problem and cost to the industry, but also an opportunity to achieve better profitability of the process through utilization. By-products of the food industry are rich in bioactive substances and nutrients that are beneficial to human health, they are available in large quantities and are mainly a problem in the food industry, but their application in the development of new products has great potential. The main by-products derived from potato starch are proteins and fiber most commonly used as animal feed.
