Low Cadmium Accumulating Potato Varieties for Safe Food Production: Mechanisms, Genetic Targets, and Integrated Agronomic Strategies.

Journal of agricultural and food chemistry | 2026-Aug-26

This review synthesizes the genetic targets and mechanisms, including StNRAMP, StHMA, and ZIP transporter families, governing cadmium accumulation in Solanum tuberosum tubers. It highlights the integration of low-cadmium accumulating cultivars with agronomic management and CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to develop cadmium-safe potato production systems.

Fermentation-based valorization of potato peel waste for the production of antioxidant fermentation-derived preparations by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum.

Food science and technology international = Ciencia y tecnologia de los alimentos internacional | 2026-Sep-01

This study evaluates the use of potato peel waste as a fermentation substrate for Lactiplantibacillus plantarum to produce antioxidant-rich functional preparations. Fermentation for 48 hours significantly enhanced both the total phenolic content and DPPH radical scavenging activity. The findings highlight the potential of potato peel as a sustainable ingredient for potato-derived food science applications.
