Potato, an important agricultural crop grown mainly for domestic consumption as well
as for variety of uses. The consumption of fresh potato accounts for 50% in worldwide, and the
remaining is being processed into variety of food products as well as food ingredients for its use in
food processing industries. The waste generated from potato processing industries, which is being fed
to various livestock’s and poultry, it can also be used for production of starch. Value added products
produced from potato, which is being highly liked and consumed to a greater extent especially frozen
potatoes like crisp and French fries especially in UK restaurants. The fuel grade ethanol can also be
even manufactured by fermenting the liquid extract obtained from potato processing waste, so there
is an ample scope for the various food processing industries to add value to this crop in order to
boost the economy of the nation.
