Potato protein isolate (PPI), a commercial by-product of the starch industry, is a promising novel protein for food applications with limited information regarding its techno-functionality. This research focused on the formation of both thermal and high-pressure gels at acidic and neutral pH levels. Our results reveal that physical gels are formed after 30 min by heat at pH 7 and pH 3, while pressure (300-500 MPa) allows the formation of physical gels only at pH 3, and only when the system crosses 30 degrees C by adiabatic heating during pressurization. Texture profile analysis (TPA) revealed that gel hardness increased with both gelation temperature and pressure, while water-holding capacity was lower for the pressure-induced gels. The proteins released in the water-holding test suggested only partial involvement of patatin in the gel formation. Vitamin C as a model for a thermally liable compound verified the expected better conservation of such compounds in a pressure-induced gel compared to a thermal one of similar textural properties, presenting a possible advantage for pressure-induced gelation.
