What is the difference between potato flake flour and potato granule flour?

Although both potato flake flour and potato granule flour are derived from potatoes, their processing methods and characteristics differ significantly, making them suitable for different food applications.

Processing Differences:

Flake Flour: Drum-dried, resulting in a flake-like texture with a high cell breakage rate (20%-70%).

Volume Flour: Air-dried, resulting in finer particles (0.5-0.07mm) with over 90% cell integrity.

Application Scenarios:

Flake Flour: Suitable for puffed foods, frozen products, and other applications requiring low cost and easy processing.

Volume Flour: Suitable for bread improvers, fast-food mashed potatoes, and other applications requiring preservation of shape and flavor.
