Abstract
The project ‘Examining peptides through different compound extracting steps of potato juice’ was started due to Avebe, a large starch manufacturer, not being able to find peptides after the extraction of proteins out of potato fruit juice (PFJ). When extracting starch from potatoes, PFJ is the leftover waste product. However, due to a larger demand of plant-based proteins, the extraction of proteins from PFJ became financially attractive. This research followed the steps of the protein extraction from PFJ and investigated the liquid present after protein extraction. The remaining liquid was investigated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry (MS) and LC-MS. The latter is a combination of both techniques. All three techniques were used to examine the presence of peptides and amino acids in the PFJ throughout the different protein extraction steps. Economical considerations of extracting peptides and amino acids from the leftover PFJ were also reviewed. A mass balance of the potatoes different properties was made to provide data on the economical considerations.
