My every day consists of thinking out of the box and developing new food application areas for KMC using potato-based ingredients Finding new ways in how potato starch can benefit the food industry in terms of production, final product, health and costs.Current focus:Clear coating application for french fries, to prolong holding time and development of different textures.Cost and process optimization, as well as the development of new textures in the area of the indirect expanded products, such as snack pellets.

We are interested in writing the most interesting topics in the food industry. Our focus is on the multiple transformations that food goes through harvesting, production, preparation and even our digestive system. We also talk about the misconceptions that exist related to health and nutrition. Our ultimate goal is to inform with science-base data and provide tools to make informed choices.
