What it is

Potato protein is a plant-based protein derived from potatoes. It is typically produced by separating the protein from the starch and fiber of the potato through processes like centrifugation or filtration. The resulting powder is a concentrated source of potato protein.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add potato protein as a nutritional supplement to boost the protein content of foods. It can also act as a binder or emulsifier, helping to hold ingredients together and improve texture. It is commonly found in processed foods like baked goods, snacks, and meat alternatives.

Health notes

Potato protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of essential amino acids and contributes to overall protein intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated potato protein, but no specific numeric limits were set. Research on the health effects of potato protein at typical consumption levels is ongoing, with no major controversies reported.

Allergen info

Potato protein is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. Potatoes are not a source of gluten.
