Potato is an economically important staple crop prevailing all across the world with successful large-scale production, consumption, and affordability with easy availability in the open market. Potatoes provide basic nutrients such as—carbohydrates, dietary fiber (skin), several vitamins, and minerals (e.g., potassium, magnesium, iron). On occasion exposures to raw and cooked potatoes impart allergic reactions. Dietary intake of potatoes, especially colored potatoes, play an important role in… Expand

Development of variety technologies for cultivation of potato in the Middle Urals
TLDR
For the first time in the conditions of the Middle Urals, the influence of the feeding area on the mineral and biochemical composition of potato tubers (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, dry substances, vitamin C and others) is studied. Expand
Agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in raw and cooked potato tubers growing under saline conditions.
TLDR
Salinity level, variety and cooking method are important determinants of tuber yield and composition and electromagnetic water may be useful to enhance potato production and tuber quality in areas suffering from water salinization. Expand
Mycorrhizal Interventions for Sustainable Potato Production in Africa
The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important tuber crop with high dietary value that could potentially help to alleviate malnutrition and hunger in Africa. However, production is expensive, with… Expand
Potassium: A Vital Macronutrient in Potato Production—A Review
Potassium (K) is a primary macronutrient for overall plant growth, yield potential, product quality and stress resistance of crops. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) crops require a high amount of… Expand

Anti-nutritional Compounds in Potatoes , Depending on the Type of Raw Material and Conditions of Processing Potatoes into Food Products
The nutritional quality of potato, which is directed towards consumption or intended for food processing, is determined by the presence of nutritional components such as starch, protein or vitamins… Expand
Potatoes and Human Health
TLDR
The potato is a carbohydrate-rich, energy-providing food with little fat, and many compounds in potatoes contribute to antioxidant activity and interest in cultivars with pigmented flesh is growing. Expand
The Contribution of Potatoes to Global Food Security, Nutrition and Healthy Diets
TLDR
Trends in potato consumption show that while in Europe potato consumption has been steadily decreasing, Africa and Asia have seen a ~70% increase between 1961 and 2013, with large regional differences. Expand
Potato glycoalkaloids and metabolites: roles in the plant and in the diet.

TLDR
An enhanced understanding of the multiple and overlapping aspects of glycoalkaloids in the plant and in the diet will benefit producers and consumers of potatoes. Expand
Phenolic constituents levels in cv. Agria potato under microwave processing
Abstract Phenolic compounds have long been associated with flavour and colour characteristics of fruits and vegetables and actually attract a great interest due to their health protecting properties.… Expand
The glycemic index of pigmented potatoes is related to their polyphenol content.
TLDR
The GI of coloured potatoes is significantly related to their polyphenol content, possibly mediated through an inhibitory effect of anthocyanins on intestinal α-glucosidase, and this relationship was examined in a GI study by feeding coloured potatoes to 9 healthy volunteers. Expand
A retail market study of organic and conventional potatoes (Solanum tuberosum): mineral content and nutritional implications
TLDR
Comparison of individual mineral concentrations between foodstuffs sold as organic or conventional is unlikely to establish a chemical fingerprint to objectively distinguish between organic and conventional produce, but more sophisticated chemometric analysis of multi-element fingerprints holds promise of doing so.
