Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Results indicated that the accumulation pattern of solanine during the harvesting intervals observed differed markedly between cultivars and was influenced by the stage of maturity. The influence of nitrogen fertilization on solanine was inconsistent. All stored tubers of all varieties at 10°C for 45 days exhibited a highly significant increase in solanine.
