Potato Starch Petfood

Potato starch is one of the most used plant-based ingredients for pet food. It is an important source of energy for pets and is used in many formulas as it ensures that pet food has the right texture and structure due to its binding qualities. Alternative grains exist, however, these ingredients contain gluten. Therefore, potato starch is an excellent grain-free and gluten-free option for pet food. Potato starch is a co-product released during the slicing process of food-grade potatoes with a low carbon footprint. Plant-based pet food with a low carbon footprint perfectly meets the pet owner’s evolving requirements. Native- and extruded potato starch is available.

Applications

Animal Feed industry:

Potato starch is widely used in Petfood applications as a carbohydrate source or a binder. It increases the expansion and reduces the density of kibble, presents a higher digestibility and metabolizable energy than corn and improves diet palatability. In addition, potato starch is a great ingredient to use in a grain-free/gluten-free diet for your pet and is non-GMO. In this range we can offer white potato starch or sidestream potato starch according to your needs.
