Potato starch is starch that has been extracted. Leucoplasts are found in the potato plants root tuber cells starch grains. The starch is removed from the potatoes by crushing them, which causes the starch grains to escape from the dead cells. After being cleaned out, the starch is dried to a powder.
Typical large oval spherical granules of potato starch range in size from 5 to 100 m. Refined starches like potato starch have little protein or fat in them. Because of this, the powder is a bright white colour, and boiled starch retains its typical properties of neutral flavour, good clarity, high binding strength, lengthy texture, and little inclination to foam or turn solution yellow.
