This study evaluates the application of potato starch in the production of Gwapyeon, a traditional Korean starch-based gel, comparing its performance against corn and mung bean starches. The research highlights that potato starch produces the softest and most translucent gels, providing insights into the functional and sensory properties of potato-derived starch in food science.
This study characterizes the reproductive anatomy and egg chorion ultrastructure of the potato tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella), a major global potato pest. The findings provide baseline morphological data essential for developing genetic control strategies, such as RNA interference and CRISPR-based genome editing, to manage this pest.
This review evaluates solanidine, a steroidal alkaloid found in potatoes, and its metabolites as noninvasive biomarkers for assessing human CYP2D6 enzyme activity. The research highlights how these potato-derived compounds can be used to monitor drug metabolism and interindividual variability, bridging potato-derived food science with clinical pharmacogenetics.
This study develops a highly specific immunochromatographic assay for the rapid on-site detection of thifluzamide fungicide residues in crops. The method was successfully validated using potato samples, providing a practical tool for food safety monitoring and residue analysis in potato-derived products.
This study models the seasonal dispersal of aphid vectors in Idaho seed potato fields to improve management of Potato virus Y (PVY). By identifying peaks in aphid abundance related to environmental factors, the research suggests optimized timing for protective measures like mineral oil applications and weed control to reduce infection risk during potato emergence.
This study characterizes the role of the StFKF1 gene in potato flowering and tuberization using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene editing. Knockout of StFKF1 delayed both flowering and tuber formation under long-day conditions, which correlated with altered expression of the florigen gene StSP3D and the tuberigen gene StSP6A.
This study evaluates the nutritional, bioactive, and sensory properties of a plant-based milk substitute formulated from a blend of potato, coconut, and peanut. The research highlights the potential of potato-derived ingredients in developing functional beverages with high antioxidant activity and health-promoting enzyme-inhibitory properties.
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.
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.
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.
