Changes in tuber composition related to potato (So/unum tuberosum cv. Huinkul) storage in clamps for 120 days, were studied. Dry matter (22.53 2 2.9) was unaffected by storage. Protein, vitamin C, total lipids and phospholipids were calculated on a IOOg dry weight basis. Initial protein content (4.71 g ? 0.5) fluctuated during storage, having a similar percentage value at the end of the storage period. Vitamin C at harvest was 100 mg ? 8.1 and decreased to 55.8 mg + 8.4 (120th day).Total lipids were 0.6g ? 0.15 and 0.25g ? 0.06 at the beginning and at the end of storage, respectively. Initial and final phospholipid content were 0.14g -C 0.02 and 0.16g 2 0.02, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
