Potato protein nanoparticles

This invention describes tiny particles made from potato protein, specifically patatin, that can hold vitamins inside. These particles are designed to dissolve well, making it easier to add hydrophobic vitamins like D, E, A, or K to foods and drinks, even clear ones, without affecting their appearance. The vitamin is encapsulated by the potato protein nanoshell.

Why it matters: The widespread adoption of plant-based ingredients in functional foods and beverages has grown substantially since 2014, making potato protein a more appealing carrier. Concurrently, advancements in food-grade nanoparticle synthesis and characterization may offer improved production methods.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
