Project Mission Identify alternative uses for potato culls.
Funding Sources Washington Potato Commission funded through IMPACT
Background: Over 82 percent of Washington’s potatoes are produced for processing (primarily for frozen french fries). Typical french fry operations generate between 10-25 percent of solid wastes. In 2003, the Potato Commission funded four projects through IMPACT to conduct a concerted research effort to investigate a technically and economically feasible means for transforming potato culls and wastes into high value food or nonfood products.
Project 1: Isolate starch, protein and fibers from potato waste and culls and characterize the uses of each in foods.
