Claims
- 1. In a process for recovering potato starch and protein by crushing a starch-containing potato and separating and recovering starch and protein from the resulting crushed slurry, the improvement which comprises crushing said potato in the presence of sodium thiosulfate, the amount of sodium thiosulfate added being 0.005 to 0.5 percent by weight on the wet-potato basis, the sodium thiosulfate being added to the potato at the crushing of the potato, to thereby avoid darkening of the recovered starch and protein.
- 2. A process for recovering potato starch and protein according to claim 1, which includes a step of separating the resulting crushed slurry into crude starch, pulp and a juice after the crushing.
- 3. A process for recovering potato starch and protein according to claim 2, wherein protein is separated from said juice.
- 4. A process for recovering potato starch and protein according to claim 3, wherein in separating protein from said juice, said juice is subjected to molecular sieving to separate said juice into a liquid protein concentrate and a protein removed juice.
- 5. A process for recovering potato starch and protein according to claim 3, wherein in separating protein from said juice, said juice is heat-treated to agglomerate protein, and the thus-formed protein agglomerate is separated from the resulting juice containing the protein agglomerate.
- 6. A process for recovering potato starch and protein according to claim 5, wherein the heat treatment is performed at 55.degree. to 85.degree. C. for 0.5 to 100 minutes.
