Potato protein: the pet food ingredient that ticked every box

Is it possible to simultaneously stabilise texture, retain live cultures and clean up the label? A European plant-based dairy producer managed just that, and all it took was one ingredient.

From food to industrial applications

One ingredient with countless uses

Potato starch is used across the food industry to deliver texture, viscosity and clarity in products ranging from soups and sauces to dairy, confectionery and coatings. For technical applications its unique molecular properties give it a performance advantage over alternative starch sources. Potato starch serves as a functional ingredient in paper manufacturing, adhesive formulations, construction materials and textiles.

“Potato starch can replace hydrocolloids or modified starches at the same function or even improved functionality. If you’re looking for the best protein or fat replacement, or to enhance creaminess in dairy applications, potato starch is one of the purest ingredients you can use.”
Meleknur Tüzün Global Segment Manager Dairy, Avebe
