Potato

Abstract

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the world’s third most important crop in terms of human consumption following wheat and rice. It has been used as a primary nutritional source in many diets and for preparation of a variety of processed products in all countries of the world whether developing or developed. Potato tubers are considered as a rich source of bioactive compounds, which are highly desirable in healthy human diet. Although potato is a nutrient rich food, there is ample scope for improving its nutritional quality and making it more nutritious food. Among various phytonutrients, carotenoids are major lipophilic constituents contributing to total antioxidant activity of potato. Potato with improved carotenoid content and composition are essential to fulfil the carotenoid requirement of malnourished populations of many countries around the world, which is important to alleviate vitamin A deficiency and other health-related disorders. The objective of the chapter is to summarize various aspects related to potato tuber carotenoid, viz. health promoting properties of carotenoids and specially their contents and composition in different potato varieties affected by tuber flesh colour (purple-, yellow-, white- and red-fleshed) and the effect of various factors on total and individual carotenoid levels, such as genotype, breeding methodology, tuber development, effect of year, locality, storage, thermal processing—cooking, frying, etc.
