What it is
Potato starch is a powder made from potatoes. It is a type of carbohydrate that acts as a thickener. Monoglycerides are often added to potato starch to improve its texture and prevent clumping. They are derived from fats and oils.
Why it's used
Potato starch with monoglyceride is used as a thickener and stabilizer in processed foods. It helps improve the texture and mouthfeel of products like frozen meals, baked goods, and sauces, preventing ingredients from separating.
Health notes
Potato starch is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Monoglycerides are also GRAS and widely used in food. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these ingredients and found them safe for consumption at typical levels. There are no widespread health controversies associated with their use in food.
Allergen info
Potato starch is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. Monoglycerides are typically derived from plant or animal fats and oils, and are not considered major allergens themselves. Gluten is not present in potato starch.
