This study investigates methods to reduce acrylamide and glycoalkaloid levels in three Peruvian potato varieties (Bicentenaria, CIP-Poderosa Pollera, and Única) using ultrasonic pretreatment and various frying techniques. The research identifies optimal processing conditions to produce safer fried potato products while maintaining quality attributes like color and texture.
This study evaluates the rheological properties and preparation requirements of infant formulas thickened with potato starch compared to rice flour. It specifically examines how potato starch-based formulas maintain viscosity in the bottle and under simulated gastric conditions, providing insights into potato-derived food science and nutrition.
This study investigates how the late blight pathogen Phytophthora infestans utilizes a small RNA derived from the PiCRN1 effector to target and suppress the potato immune regulator EDS1. The research explores cross-kingdom RNA trafficking and the potential role of extracellular vesicles in the molecular interaction between the pathogen and the potato host.
This study investigates the use of potato protein isolate (PPI), a byproduct of the potato starch industry, as a solubility enhancer for curcumin. The research demonstrates that PPI can effectively prevent curcumin precipitation and improve its aqueous solubility without exhibiting toxicity, highlighting its potential in pharmaceutical and food science applications.
This study evaluates the use of hyperspectral imaging and machine learning to detect potato cyst nematode (Globodera rostochiensis and G. pallida) infections in potato plants. It explores the challenges of distinguishing nematode-induced stress from abiotic factors like water deficiency, identifying key spectral wavelengths for improved diagnostic accuracy.
This paper introduces 3DPotatoTwin, a dataset of 339 potato tubers designed to improve 3D phenotyping by aligning high-throughput RGB-D scans with high-quality Structure-from-Motion reconstructions. The study provides a pipeline for multi-sensory data fusion, enabling more accurate 3D modeling of potato tubers for agricultural and breeding applications.
This study investigates the effects of Solanum tuberosum leaf extract and the glycoalkaloid α-chaconine on the gut physiology and growth of Tenebrio molitor larvae. The research highlights how potato-derived defense compounds modulate insect digestive enzyme activity and gut contractility, offering insights into potato plant-insect interactions and potential bioinsecticidal applications.
This study investigates the viromes of solanaceous weeds, identifying them as potential reservoirs for viruses that affect solanaceous crops. Notably, it reports the presence of Potato Virus M (PVM) and a Potato Virus H (PVH)-like virus in these weed species, providing insights for potato pathology and disease management.
This study investigates the ecological impact of returning potato starch processing wastewater (PSPW) to fields as a resource utilization strategy. It evaluates pollutant removal rates, changes in soil physicochemical properties, and shifts in microbial community structure to provide a scientific basis for safe wastewater irrigation in the potato industry.
This study examines the interaction between β-glucan and various starches, specifically highlighting that β-glucan inhibits retrogradation in potato starch due to its unique amylopectin chain length. The research provides insights into the molecular behavior and digestion properties of potato starch, which is relevant for potato-derived food science and nutritional applications.
