Abstract

Potato proteins are well known for their nutritional, emulsifying, foaming, gel forming or antioxidant properties that all make from them valuable protein source for food industry. Antifungal, antimicrobial and also antiviral properties, described for potato proteins in the review, enrich the possibilities of potato protein usage. Potato proteins were divided into patatin, protease inhibitors and fraction of other proteins that also included, besides others, proteins involved in potato defence physiology. All these proteins groups provide proteins and peptides with antifungal and/or antimicrobial actions. Patatins, obtained from cultivars with resistance to Phytophthora infestans, were able to inhibit spore germination of this pathogen. Protease inhibitors represent the structurally heterogeneous group with broad range of antifungal and antimicrobial activities. Potato protease inhibitors I and II reduced the growth of Phytophthora infestans, Rhizoctonia solani and Botrytis cinerea or of the fungi of Fusarium genus. Members of Kunitz family (proteins Potide-G, AFP-J, Potamin-1 or PG-2) were able to inhibit serious pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli or Candida albicans. Potato snakins, defensins and pseudothionins are discussed for their ability to inhibit serious potato fungi as well as bacterial pathogens. Potato proteins with the ability to inhibit growth of pathogens were used for developing of pathogen-resistant transgenic plants for crop improvement. Incorporation of potato antifungal and antimicrobial proteins in feed and food products or food packages for elimination of hygienically risk pathogens brings new possibility of potato protein usage.
