Processing Technology¶
The transformation of raw potatoes into premium flakes and powder requires precise control across multiple unit operations: washing, peeling, slicing, cooking, mashing, drum drying (for flakes), milling (for powder), and packaging. Each step must be optimized for the specific potato variety being processed, with critical control points for moisture content, starch gelatinization, color development, and particle size distribution. Hongji Agriculture's processing facilities are designed for vertical integration, handling the complete process from raw material intake to finished product packaging under a single quality management system.
