Potato Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Ranges of contents of free amino acids (mg/100 g tuber dry matter) are tabulated for 13 varieties grown in 7 different countries. Publications reporting less-complete analyses are cited, and relate to approximately 45 further varieties.

Zusammenfassung

Tabelle 1 zeigt den Gehalt an freien Aminosäuren (mg/100 g Trockengewicht) von 13 Kartoffelsorten, die in 7 verschiedenen Ländern gewachsen sind. Veröffentlichungen mit unvollständigen Analysenergebnissen sind in Tabelle 2 aufgeführt und verweisen auf ungefähr 45 weitere Kartoffelsorten.

Résumé

Les écarts dans la teneur en acides aminés libres des tubercules (mg/100 g de matiére sèche) sont répertoriés pour 13 variétés cultivées dans 7 régions différentes (tableau 1). Les publications mentionnant les analyses sont citées et il est donné une liste des publications moins complètes concernant environ 45 autres variétés (tableau 2).
