Northern Europe has a large potato processing industry. IQI partners with European companies specialised in valorising potatoes into dry quality ingredients. As such IQI can offer custom-made blends in order to meet the techno functional demands of our customers.
Potato protein is made from side streams of potato starch production. This makes potato protein a sustainable alternative to meat-based sources of protein. The amino acid profile of potato protein is excellent, along with the protein to ash ratio. Potato protein is an ideal protein source for plant-based or hybrid pet foods. Besides standard potato proteins, other potato proteins with lower glycoalkaloid levels are also available. This is relevant when high levels of potato protein are included, as glycoalkaloids contain both chaconine and solanin, which have a bitter taste and can therefore affect palatability.
