Louis Francois Potato Protein is a highly functional, plant-based protein isolate derived from potatoes. This fine powder, ranging in colour from white to grey or light brown, is neutral in odor and offers excellent foaming, binding, and gelling properties—making it especially valuable in modern pastry, baking, and vegan confectionery.
Used as a foaming agent, it is heat-stable, water-soluble, and performs well in neutral pH environments. Compared to other plant-based protein isolates like pea or soy, potato protein is known for producing a more stable, elastic foam—making it a preferred choice for egg white replacement in applications like macarons, meringues, and sponge cakes. Its performance also surpasses many commodity protein powders that may lack consistency or clean flavour.
Incorporation:
Blend directly into dry ingredients or hydrate in water before use. For egg white replacement, calculate based on the total batter weight and adjust water accordingly.
Example:
To replace 100 g of egg whites in a 500 g batter using a 2% dosage:
→ Use 10 g of potato protein + 90 g of water
Macaron Shells: Achieves structure, stability, and aeration similar to traditional egg whites
Meringues & Cookies: Produces crisp, stable foams for baked goods and garnishes
Sheet Cakes & Sponges: Adds structure and moisture retention while supporting leavening
Vegan Baking & Pastry: Enables egg-free formulations with clean texture and excellent rise
Modernist Cuisine: Useful in foams, batters, and mousses where gelling and aeration are needed
