1999

Starch content of six varieties of Alberta-grown potato tubers was more than 16% (wet basis). The tubers were wet fractionated in the laboratory and starch was recovered. The starch recovery ranged from 61 to 67%. The composition of the potato juice/fruit water (dry matter, protein, ash and mineral content) and starch isolations (moisture, starch, protein, lipid, ash, phosphorous and amylose content) was determined. The physicochemical characterization of the potato starch isolations were done in terms of granule size distribution, crystallinity (X-ray diffractometry), gelatinization (differential scanning calorimetry) properties, swelling factor and the changes in viscosity during heating and cooling of starch-water slurry (Brabender viscography). Substantial differences in the starch content of the tubers, fruit water composition and starch physicochemical properties were observed between potato varieties.
