Abstract
Methods for making wettable, dispersible potato protein powders are provided. The wettable dispersible potato protein powders comprise potato protein, free amino acids, non-protein nitrogen compounds, and minerals from potatoes; and are low in total α-glycoalkaloids. The inventive potato protein powders are suitable for use in formulating foods, feeds and beverages.
