Cassava landraces are impacted by post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD). 34 primary/secondary metabolites (carotenes, flavonols, indols, phenolic, hydroxycinnamic, and organic acids) were analysed using HPLC/GC–MS in 72 landraces harvested 8 months after planting (MAP) to clarify whether these compounds may play a role in PPD tolerance. Cluster analysis differentiated a first group with high organic acids contents, citric acid being dominant, a second group with landraces high in tryptophan, a third group including landraces with high phenolic and hydroxycinnamic acids content, and a fourth group characterised by 8 carotenoids. PPD tolerant and susceptible landraces were present in each group. To determine if PPD is related to age of harvest, 174 landraces were harvested at 6, 8, 10 and 12 MAP. Scopoletin, sucrose and glucose were analysed. PPD was positively correlated with DMC and negatively correlated with scopoletin at all ages of harvest. Scopoletin is a useful biomarker to characterize landraces.
