Setting up of a unit for manufacture of Potato Flour / Potato Powder & Potato Flakes.
About Product and its use: (it is a very versatile food product)
Potato Flour is used in bread, pancake and waffle recipes or as a thickener for smoother sauces, gravies and soups. Also used in fabricated Potato chips, Extruded Snacks, Snack Pellets, Battered breaded products etc. Also used in gluten-free and allergy cooking.Potato powder is increasingly being used in a variety of food preparations like snack foods (Mc Donald, Pringle, Haldiram namkeens etc.), soups, curries and other dishes as a thickening agent and Stir Fries. It has strong potato flavor. It can be a binding material for preparing kheer, tikki, chops, pakoda, cutlets, stuffed parotha, kofta and other products. Its use at present is mainly in hotels, restaurants, but acceptance in household is growing due to its inclusion in items like ready to cook soups, dals, curries, etc. It gives added flavors to curries. It can be used in Gulab Jamun, Puri and Paratha.
Market Potential:
The potato powder is supplied in bulk to the manufacturers of the various snack food items and restaurants/ hotels. The major demand is in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Nagpur, etc. The demand is much more than the supply at present and is likely to grow with the increasing popularity of the snack foods and other items where potato powder is used as input. It has good export potential also, and European countries are largest consumer of potato flour.
