“…Mondy and Mueller, (1977) demonstrated that all the root crops and tubers exhibit a very low lipid content. These are mainly structural lipid of the cell membrane which enhance cellular integrity, offer resistance to bruising and help to reduce enzymic browning Similar results were observed by many authors, as Jaarma, (1958) who stated that in tubers irradiated with 40-100 Gy, sucrose and glucose increased while fructose decreased. While Filep and Koposztassy, (1971) observed a reduction in sucrose content following irradiation.…”

Effect of gamma radiation on the whole body contents of nutritional materials was investigated for potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella Zeller, fed on irradiated potato tubers. The statistical analysis of the data indicated that the quantities of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids in the whole body of the adults of Ph. operculella were affected significantly. There was a correlation with their changes in the potato tubers; as a significant decrease in protein and carbohydrate contents was recorded for potato tubers and both male and female moths at most doses. Although lipid was recorded as a trace amount in both non-irradiated and irradiated potatoes it was significantly increased in males fed on irradiated potatoes at all doses. While a significant decrease in lipid contents at lower doses (50 and 70 Gy) was recoded , a significant increase at higher doses (100, 150 and 200 Gy) was noticed in case of females. The total body weight of insects was affected directly with the increase in the dose of potato irradiation

“…Information on nitrogen metabolism in irradiated potatoes is very scanty. Jaarma (1966) has studied the influence of 7-irradiation on proline content of potatoes. The results suggested that there is a correlation between proline content and sprouting.…”
