Potato starch enhances the quality of paper

Finnish researchers have used potato starch as an accessory in the paper industry to replace some common minerals. The results showed that the paper weight was reduced and the printing quality was higher.

Meanwhile, paper is still biodegradable. Researchers are now looking for solutions to lower the cost of producing potato starch additives.

Potato starch can be used both in the plastics industry and in the paint industry, but the production cost is too high, so it is necessary to find cost-effective solutions through optimized production cycles. . The paper with the starch is better reflect the color and easier to print, with higher gloss.
