Effects of genotype, environment, and postharvest storage on the total ascorbate content of potato (Solanum tuberosum) tubers
2003
Dale, M.F.B. | Griffiths, D.W. | Todd, D.T.
The total ascorbate content of potato tubers from 33 Solanum tuberosum genotypes grown at three geographically diverse sites in Europe in each of two years was determined immediately postharvest and after approximately 4 months of storage at 4 degrees C. Statistically significant differences in total ascorbate concentration were observed between genotypes both at harvest and after storage. In all genotypes, the levels of ascorbate decreased during storage. These results are discussed in terms of their implications for diet and health as well as in terms of breeding for improved vitamin C content in potatoes.
