Respiration rate of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work investigated the effects of soft rot (Erwinia carotovora) on respiration rate of potatoes stored at three storage temperatures (5, 10, and 15 C) covering temperature ranges commonly encountered in storage. Five treatments were evaluated: healthy (H), healthy with holes (HW), inoculation with no incubation (I0), inoculation with 24 hr incubation (I1), and inoculated with 48 hr incubation (I2). Respiration rate was measured daily using a gas analysis system and disease progression analysis was periodically performed. At 5 and 10 C disease did not develop in the I0 treatment and this showed no significant difference from the control treatments (H and HW), while the I1 and I2 treatments exhibited a significant increase in disease development with a similar increase in respiration rate. At 15 C storage temperature, disease developed in the I0 treatment shortly after the start of the experiment and the trend in respiration rate was similar to those of the I1 and I2 treatments.

Sensory Evaluation of Pigmented Flesh Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Pigmented potato cultivars were ranked by a consumer panel for overall acceptance, and acceptance of aroma, appearance, and flavor. Potatoes were analyzed for total phenolics, anthocyanins and carotenoids. Concentrations of total phenolics in yellow and purple potato cultivars were 2-fold greater (P < 0.001) than in the white cultivar. Anthocyanins were low to non-detectable in white and yellow...

Severa1 storage proteins of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers have been identified, including severa1 proteinase inhibitors such as proteinase inhibitor I and I1 and the 22-kD protein group (Melville and Ryan, 1972; Bryant et al., 1976; Suh et al., 1990). The 22-kD cathepsin D inhibitor protein of potatoes (PDI) has been purified and characterized (Mares et al., 1989). This glycosylated prot...

The knowledge of uranium concentration, in the products entering the human diet is of extreme importance because of their chemical hazard to health. Controlled field experiments with potatoes, beans and lettuce (Solanum tuberosum L., Phaseolus vulgaris L. and Lactuca sativa L.) were carried out in a contaminated soil used by local farmers located near a closed Portuguese uranium mine (Cunha Bai...

The effect of pH and temperature on the stability and visual colour of aqueous anthocyanin (ACY) extracts from purpleand red-flesh potatoes was evaluated and compared to commercial ACY extracts from grape and purple carrot. Extracts from purple carrot and redflesh potatoes showed higher stability than grape and purple-flesh potato extracts. Stability to pH (63) and thermal degradation of extrac...
