Functional Properties and Mechanistic Study of Native Starches as Fat Replacers in Low-Fat Pork Sausages.

Foods (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-Apr-20

This study evaluates potato starch as a fat replacer in low-fat pork sausages, highlighting its high amylose content and superior water-retention capacities. The results demonstrate that potato starch improves the texture and moisture retention of sausages without negatively impacting their flavor profile.

The Impact of Post-Harvest Potato Storage on (Deep-Fried) Potato Mash Properties.

Foods (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-Apr-20

This study investigates how post-harvest storage of Solanum tuberosum cultivars affects the physical and chemical properties of deep-fried potato mashes. The research highlights cultivar-specific changes in firmness and oil absorption during storage, suggesting that cell wall modifications rather than starch composition drive these quality differences.

Detection and Molecular Identification of Phytoplasmas Associated with Potato in Iran.

Microorganisms | 2026-Mar-30

This study identifies and characterizes four 'Candidatus Phytoplasma' species associated with potato purple top disease in Iran using molecular analysis of multiple genes. The findings provide a comprehensive survey of phytoplasma strains affecting potato crops in the region, which is crucial for disease management and understanding pathogen biology.

Divergent Expression of Acidic and Alkaline Pectate Lyases in Ditylenchus destructor During Initial Infection Time Course.

Microorganisms | 2026-Apr-04

This study investigates the role of pectate lyase (PeL) genes in the pathogenicity of Ditylenchus destructor, a major potato rot nematode. The research identifies specific acidic and alkaline PeL isoforms and suggests that the nematode modulates host microenvironment pH to optimize enzymatic activity for successful infection.

Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinase Family: Evolutionary Analysis and Protective Role in Mitochondrial ROS Production.

Plants (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-Apr-09

This study explores the evolution and functional role of Nucleoside Diphosphate Kinases (NDPK) in the Solanaceae family, specifically focusing on potato (Solanum tuberosum). It identifies StNDPK3 as a key mitochondrial isoform in potato tubers that regulates redox homeostasis and suppresses reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by linking nucleotide metabolism to mitochondrial energy states.
