A Multi-Functional Prebiotic Strategy: Crosslinked 2'-Fucosyllactose-Potato Protein Hydrolysate Conjugates Encapsulating Resveratrol for Co-Delivery to Beneficial Gut Bacteria.

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

This study develops a prebiotic delivery system using Maillard conjugates of 2'-fucosyllactose and potato protein hydrolysate (PPH) to encapsulate resveratrol. The resulting crosslinked system enhances the colonic delivery of carbohydrates, peptides, and resveratrol, demonstrating a novel application for potato-derived proteins in food science and gut health.

Comparative Effects of Microalgal Incorporation on the Rheological, Microstructural, and Colorimetric Behavior of Potato Starch Gels.

Foods (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-Aug-21

This study investigates the effects of incorporating microalgae (Arthrospira platensis and Chlorella vulgaris) on the rheological, microstructural, and colorimetric properties of potato starch gels. The findings demonstrate that A. platensis reinforces the starch matrix to increase structural stability, whereas C. vulgaris acts as a filler that reduces flow barriers. This research provides valuable insights for potato-derived food science by showing how microalgae can be used to modify the physical properties of potato starch-based food systems.

Identification of the RING-HCa E3 Ligase Gene Family and Functional Characterization of StDRIP1 in Potato Drought Stress Response.

Current issues in molecular biology | 2026-Aug-02

This study identified 172 StHCa genes in the potato genome and characterized the role of StDRIP1 in drought stress response. Functional analysis revealed that StDRIP1 acts as a negative regulator of potato drought tolerance by repressing root growth, reducing antioxidant enzyme activities, and impairing osmotic homeostasis.

Bioactive Metabolites of Solanum tuberosum L. in Inflammation Modulation and Tissue Regeneration: A Scoping Review of Wound Healing Mechanisms.

Biomedicines | 2026-Aug-04

This scoping review maps the bioactive metabolites of Solanum tuberosum—including flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, polysaccharides, and peptides—and evaluates their roles in wound healing and inflammation modulation. The study highlights molecular mechanisms such as the regulation of NF-κB and cytokines, while identifying key research gaps in standardization and clinical translation of potato-derived preparations.

Unraveling the Intertwined Networks of Potato Tuberization: From Epitranscriptomic Signaling to Metabolic Reprogramming.

International journal of molecular sciences | 2026-Aug-10

This review synthesizes the complex regulatory networks governing potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuberization, highlighting the roles of epitranscriptomic modifications, chromatin remodeling, and metabolic reprogramming. It discusses the impact of climate warming on tuberization signals and the genetic challenges of autotetraploidy. Finally, it outlines how these insights can be applied to breeding climate-resilient cultivars using genome editing and diploid hybrid strategies.
