Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for obtaining a potato protein fraction using a specific absorbent. Specifically, the invention relates to the carrier material, which comprises a specific polymeric material, functionalised with suitable ligands. By the use of a functionalised support carrier according to the present invention, a potato protein fraction can be obtained with higher effectiveness.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method to isolate native tuber protein using a pretreatment of tuber processing water and diafiltration against a salt solution. This sequence of steps has the advantage that protein is stabilized during diafiltration, increasing process efficiency and protein quality and yield.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a coagulated root- or tuber protein product which is not horny. Such products are characterized by a small particle size, a low density and little color, which makes them suitable for human food applications. The invention further pertains to a process for obtaining non-horny root- or tuber coagulated protein, and to use of these products in human food applications.

Abstract: The invention relates to the manufacture of food and food ingredients, more in particular to plant-based fibrous structures for use in vegan products such as meat analogs. Provided is a method for the manufacture of an edible protein-based fibrous structure, comprising contacting an aqueous solution of a non-denatured potato protein with a carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) having a Mw of at least 150,000 Dalton (Da) to yield a fiber forming solution, which fiber forming solution has a total dry matter (TDM) content in the range of 0.5 to 15%, and wherein said contacting is performed in the pH range of 2 to 5 and while mixing thereby inducing the formation of a potato protein-based edible fibrous structure.

Abstract: A method for flocculation of root or tuber juice is described having the advantage that dissolved protein remains unaffected and that clear potato juice with an OD620 below 0.8 is obtained. This is important for applications in which soluble protein is to be extracted from root or tuber juice, because it increases lifetime of the used equipment. The method involves a) use of a coagulant comprising a cationic coagulant and a flocculant comprising an anionic polyacrylamide with a specific viscosity of 4-6 mPa·s and a charge density between 45 and 75%; or b) use of a coagulant comprising a polymeric silicate of formula SiO32? and a flocculant comprising a cationic polyacrylamide with a specific viscosity of 3-5 mPa·s and a charge density of at most 30%; or c) use of a coagulant comprising a cationic or neutral coagulant and a flocculant comprising carrageenan. The invention further provides valuable root- or tuber derived materials, such as the floc material, a potato lipid isolate or an amino acid material.
