Modifications of the comprehensive method for total glycoalkaloid determination

American Potato Journal Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Continuing investigations and queries from workers in the field of potato research have led to minor modifications of the method for the determination of total potato glycoalkaloids (TGA) by Fitzpatrick and Osman (1). These small changes shorten the time for analysis and can possibly give improved recovery of TGA.

Resumen

Investigaciones continuadas y discusiones con trabajadores en el campo de la investigatión en papa han conducido a modificaciones menores del método para la determinatión de glicoalcaloides totales de la papa (TGA) de Fitzpatrick y Osman (1). Esos cambios pequeños acortan el tiempo para análisis y posiblemente pueden dar una recuperatión mejorada de TGA.
