Potato starch is extracted from potatoes and used as a gluten-free substitute for flour in many recipes. It has several applications such as a thickening agent, alternative to flour, and for frying foods. Potato starch provides several health benefits including improved insulin sensitivity, digestive and colon health, and may support weight loss. While generally safe, some people experience bloating and gas from high amounts of potato starch due to its fiber-like functioning in the body.

According to MedicalsNewsToday, they published an article detailing the significance,
applications, advantages, and risks of potato starch. It has been medically examined by Adrienne Seitz, MS, RD, LDN, Nutrition — By Adam Rowden on May 24, 2021. Given the statement, potato starch is the extracted starch from potatoes. After drying, the starch transforms into a light, powdery substance like to flour, and it is a common ingredient in many recipes. As potato starch is gluten-free, it can be used in some recipes as an efficient substitute for plain flour. Numerous recipes include potato starch, an ingredient that is a typically ingredient. The potato starch can be used in a variety of ways. (Thickening agents, Gluten-free alternative to flour, frying food and Glue), these several applications for potato starch are as follows. Potato starch has several advantages for us all, which is the improved insulin sensitivity, improve digestive and colon health and Resistant starch may improve weight loss efforts. The first advantages are improving the insulin sensitivity. According to certain studies, resistant starch can improve a person's insulin sensitivity. This kind of starch is found in raw potato starch, which is a condiment. In a 2012 study, overweight men consumed only 15–30 grams (g) of resistant starch daily. Compared to subjects who had not consumed items containing resistant starch, they displayed greater insulin sensitivity. Improved insulin sensitivity can help people experience less obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. It is important to note that the outcomes for the female participants in this study were different from those for the male participants. The second advantages are improving digestive and colon health. It is stated that the resistant starch ferments and transforms into short-chain fatty acids, it feeds the healthy bacteria that live in the colon. Butyrate is a Short-chain fatty , which is produced during this process, is crucial for colon cells. can help lower the chance of developing a variety of digestive problems by lowering the levels of inflammation in the colon. Theoretically, it could lower a person's risk of getting inflammatory bowel and colon conditions like: inflammatory colorectal cancer, ulcerative colitis, constipation, diarrhea, Crohn’s disease and diverticulitis. Nonetheless, most of the research into butyrate and resistant starch has involved animals and not humans. The last advantages are the resistant starch may improve weight loss efforts. According to a 2017 study, consuming resistant starch makes one feel more satisfied after eating. Participants consumed 30 g of resistant starch each day for 6 weeks during the trial. This decreased the amount of hormones that would have otherwise made overweight people feel hungry. Also, those who consumed resistant starch had higher concentrations of compounds that reduced morning hunger. By prolonging the sense of fullness after a meal and increasing the feeling of fullness, resistant starch in the diet may support weight loss attempts. Generally, there aren't many health hazards associated with potato starch for an individual. Because resistant starches, like potato starch, function similarly to fiber, there aren't many negative impacts from consuming them. Yet, some people can discover that consuming a lot of potato starch causes bloating and gas.
