Potato Protein Concentrate
Highly digestible plant protein for premium pet food and animal nutrition.
Eco Agri Food supplies potato protein concentrates for manufacturers of dog food, cat food, animal feed and specialist nutrition products. Produced as a valuable co-product of potato starch processing, potato protein offers a concentrated source of protein with a strong amino acid profile and practical formulation benefits.
It is particularly relevant to premium, grain-free and alternative-protein concepts where manufacturers require a non-cereal plant protein with dependable nutritional quality and good digestibility.
Why Potato Protein?
Potato protein is valued for its concentrated protein content, digestibility and amino acid composition. It can help manufacturers diversify protein sourcing, reduce reliance on selected animal-derived proteins and support modern nutritional positioning.
Concentrated Plant Protein
A high-protein ingredient that supports protein enrichment in pet food and feed formulations.
Valuable Amino Acid Profile
Provides a broad range of amino acids that can contribute to balanced nutritional formulations.
Grain-Free Positioning
Suitable for formulations designed without cereal grains and for selected sensitive-diet concepts.
Premium Pet Nutrition
Relevant to high-quality dog food, cat food, treats and specialist nutrition products.
Potato Protein Matched to Your Formulation
Eco Agri Food can help identify the appropriate potato protein grade based on protein target, ash level, palatability, digestibility, processing requirements and commercial positioning.
Discuss Your ProjectApplications in Pet Food
Potato protein can be used in a wide range of pet food concepts, depending on the grade and formulation requirements:
- Dry dog food: protein enrichment and alternative-protein positioning
- Dry cat food: concentrated plant protein in balanced formulations
- Wet pet food: selected nutritional and formulation applications
- Pet treats: premium and functional treat concepts
- Sensitive-diet products: non-cereal protein strategies
- Veterinary and specialist diets: application-dependent nutritional positioning
Applications in Feed and Animal Nutrition
Beyond pet food, potato protein can also be considered for selected feed and animal nutrition applications where concentrated protein and a valuable amino acid profile are required.
- Specialist feed formulations
- Young animal nutrition
- High-value feed products
- Alternative plant protein strategies
Available Product Grades
Eco Agri Food can supply potato protein grades for different nutritional and commercial requirements. The exact specification, origin and availability should always be confirmed for the intended application and shipment.
| Grade | Positioning | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|
| Potato Protein 73% | Standard concentrated potato protein | Pet food and feed applications |
| Premium Low-Ash Potato Protein | Premium low-ash potato protein | Premium pet food and specialist formulations |
Protein percentage and other parameters are product-specific. Final values must be confirmed against the current product specification and certificate of analysis.
Functional and Nutritional Considerations
Selecting a potato protein involves more than comparing protein percentage alone. Manufacturers should also consider ash content, taste, colour, solubility, digestibility, amino acid balance, palatability and interaction with other ingredients.
The required grade will depend on the finished product, target species, nutritional declaration, processing method and desired market positioning. Eco Agri Food supports customers in comparing these factors before commercial selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is potato protein?
Potato protein is a concentrated plant protein recovered during potato starch processing and used in selected food, pet food and feed applications.
Why is potato protein used in pet food?
It provides concentrated protein, a valuable amino acid profile and an alternative to cereal-based and selected animal-derived protein sources.
Is potato protein grain free?
Potato is a tuber rather than a cereal grain, so potato protein can support grain-free product positioning when the complete formulation meets the relevant requirements.
Is potato protein suitable for dogs and cats?
It can be used in dog and cat food formulations, subject to the nutritional design, intended use level, applicable regulations and validation by the manufacturer.
What is low-ash potato protein?
Low-ash grades are processed to provide a reduced mineral or ash content and are often selected for premium or specialist formulations.
Can Eco Agri supply potato protein internationally?
Yes. Eco Agri Food supports international customers with product selection, documentation, logistics coordination and commercial supply.
