: Potato flour is an important raw material for potato staple food products; nevertheless, the quality and flavor vary significantly due to process changes. In this study, the physicochemical features of fresh and five different dehydration temperature potato samples, including the degree of starch gelatinization (DG), pasting, structure properties and volatile components, were compared to investigate the effect of hot air drying (HAD) on potato flour. The results showed that the degree of pasting, viscosity and volatile aroma components changed significantly with differences in drying temperature. With the increase in drying temperature, the gelatinization degree and peak viscosity of potato powder increased or decreased, the breakdown viscosity of HAD-50 was higher, the setback viscosity of HAD-90 was higher, while the crystallization zone of HAD-90 was destroyed due to the high temperature. The flavor components of potato flour are increased during processing due to lipid oxidation, Maillard reaction and thermal degradation. The level of aldehydes,3,5-Octadien-2-one and E,E)-3,5-Octadien-2-one gradually reduced as the processing temperature increased, while the content of furans grew and then decreased, nonanal and 2-Penty-l-Furan increased. Overall, lower HAD temperatures are beneficial for the quality and flavor of potato flour. The information presented here will be useful for the further development of potato flour products.
