Definitions

  • the present invention relates to potato protein coagulate.
  • Potato protein coagulates have been described in the art. Coagulation is an effective way to isolate potato proteins from potato fruit juice. One of the drawbacks is that the obtained potato protein coagulates generally render food products containing these coagulates gritty or sandy. In EP 3373739 and WO 2016/133448 it is indicated that the particle size is contributing mainly to grittiness, and that reducing the particle size to d90 values of around 45 .m overcomes the grittiness. The inventors have found that particle size is not the only parameter important for determining the sensory properties of the coagulates in food products.
  • the objective of the present invention is to provide a novel potato protein coagulate.
  • the invention pertains to a potato protein coagulate which is pseudo-plastic.
  • the invention further pertains to a potato protein coagulate exhibiting shear thinning behaviour.
  • shear thinning behaviour “pseudo-plastic” or “pseudo-plastic behaviour” is meant that the viscosity of an aqueous suspension of the potato protein coagulate decreases under increased shear strain. In particular, this behaviour is determined in an aqueous suspension comprising 5 wt% of the potato protein coagulate of the invention, based on the total weight of the aqueous suspension.
  • inventive potato protein coagulate further exhibits a slower sedimentation rate compared to conventional potato protein coagulates.
  • density of the coagulate of the invention is generally lower than the density of conventional coagulates.
  • water holding capacity of the inventive coagulate is generally larger compared to conventional potato protein coagulate.
  • inventive properties of the inventive coagulate allow for a better processing and an easier distribution in various matrices including food products.
  • the inventive potato protein coagulate generally do not cause a gritty mouthfeel when used in food products.
  • a yoghurt comprising the inventive coagulate, and in particular the suspension of the inventive (non-dried) potato protein coagulate, was found to be creamy.
  • the coagulate of the invention can generally be used in a wide variety of food applications, and at higher concentrations compared to conventional coagulates without significantly impacting the sensory properties of the food product.
  • the inventors found that the coagulates of the invention can be obtained without the necessity to mill the coagulate to a smaller particle size as the initial particle size of the coagulates after the coagulation process is small which does not require any further processing such as milling.
  • inventive coagulates which have not been dried and which are generally obtained in suspension, preferably an aqueous suspension, have superior properties over their dried counterpart, in particular the viscosity is even higher, the sedimentation behaviour improved and the food products containing the nondried coagulate have improved sensory properties.
  • the ratio of the viscosity at a shear rate of 50/s and at a shear rate of 10/s is at most 1 .
  • the ratio of the viscosity at a shear rate of 50/s and at a shear rate of 10/s is at most 0.95, more preferably at most 0.9, even more preferably at most 0.8, even more preferably at most 0.7, even more preferably at most 0.6 and most preferably at most 0.5, and preferably at least 0.05, more preferably at least 0.1 and most preferably at least 0.2.
  • the viscosity at different shear rates can be determined using any conventional techniques.
  • the viscosity is measured using a rheometer such as an Anton Paar Rheometer (MCR 302, cup and spindle CC27). Further details of this measurement are described in the Examples.
  • the potato protein coagulate of the invention has a viscosity of at least 2 mPa.s at a shear rate of 10/s and at 20°C when measured in an aqueous suspension comprising 5 wt% of the potato protein coagulate, based on the total weight of the aqueous suspension.

  • Such adjustment to the desired pH can be performed using an organic acid such as lactic acid and acetic acid or an inorganic acid such as hydrogen chloride or hydrogen sulphate.

  • Such removal can be performed using conventional techniques such as washing and filtration including microfiltration, ultrafiltration and diafiltration. It is contemplated that the glycoalkaloids and phenolic compounds are removed in either step (c) or step (f), or in both steps (c) and (f).
  • water can be removed from the suspension comprising the potato protein coagulate using any method known in the art. Such methods include filtration, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, pressing, decantation and evaporation.
  • step (h) the suspension comprising potato protein coagulated is dried.
  • the drying can be performed using any method known in the art. Preferably, the drying is performed under mild conditions. Examples of suitable drying methods include spray drying, freeze drying and fluidized bed drying.

  • This aqueous suspension may further require the removal of part of its water in order to increase the concentration of the potato protein coagulate. Additionally or alternatively, additives such as a preservative may be added to the aqueous suspension.
  • Example 1 potato protein coagulate
  • PFJ potato fruit juice
  • Fontane potatoes freshly harvested and washed
  • 1.5 g bisulfite per kg potatoes was added in order to prevent oxidation of polyphenols.
  • the PFJ was centrifuged to remove the starch.
  • the pH of the clarified PFJ (2840 g) was adjusted to pH 4.5 by using sulfuric acid solution.
  • PFJ Concentration of PFJ by ultrafiltration: The PFJ was concentrated by using a 100 kDa flat sheet membrane (400 cm 2 ). A volume concentration factor of 6 was applied.
  • Dialysis of concentrated PFJ the concentrated PFJ was dialyzed by using the same membrane, in order to wash out glycoalkaloids and polyphenols. A diafiltration factor (w/f) of 5 was applied.
  • Dilution of retentate and addition of sugar the final retentate was diluted with demineralized water so that 50% of the volume of the initial amount of PFJ was obtained. After dilution a certain amount of sucrose was added to the diluted retentate, to obtain a sugar content in the final dried product of 0.5% on dry weight (i.e. 5g/kg dry matter).
  • Coagulation The diluted retentate is coagulated by incubating for 30 minutes at 90°C whilst stirring. Small coagulated protein particles were formed as suspended particles in the surrounding liquid.
  • the coagulate cake (or aqueous suspension) and the dried coagulate powder were analyzed.
  • the coagulate cake and coagulate powder contain 91.6 wt% protein (on dry weight) as measured using the Kjeldahl method (with N*6.25).
  • the glycoalkaloids content is 23 ppm, of which 22 ppm is a-solanine and 0.7 ppm a-chaconine, as measured using LC-MS.
  • the sucrose content was 0.21 wt% as measured with HPAEC-PAD.
  • the potato protein coagulate particles in the coagulate cake have a d90 of 44 pm and a D[4,3] of 21 .8 pm.
