Potatoes are one of the crops with the greatest influence worldwide, and Colombia is the most important exporter of “Criolla” or diploid potato. Universidad Nacional de Colombia has developed varieties of new diploid potatoes with high antioxidant properties and colored flesh: Primavera, Paola, Violeta, Milagros, and Paysandú. The aim of this research was to characterize and evaluate the stability of physicochemical properties of the raw potato cv Primavera during storage at 4 °C. It was used the potato variety Primavera grown in Santa Elena, Antioquia, during season mayo-august 2016. The evaluated properties were the antioxidant capacity (DPPH and ABTS), phenolic compounds (Folin-Ciocalteu method), moisture, texture in whole tuber and slices, and color in the pulp (CIELab). Samples were stored in bags at a constant temperature of 4 °C and were evaluated for 0, 7, 14, 21, and 30 d. Polynomial regression was performed for each variable vs time. In general, properties for potato variety Primavera did not show a defined trend; otherwise, they were fluctuating; this may be associated with various factors such as primary production and the interaction of physic-chemical phenomena of the matter with its environment. Potato presented an important content of antioxidant compounds compared with other varieties (ABTS: 2.89→2.94 mg Trolox g-1; DPPH: 2.33→1.48 mg Trolox g-1; phenolic compounds: 6.09→6.27 mg gallic acid equivalent g-1). The “criolla” potato cv Primavera has a lot of important antioxidant properties which could confer it an agro-industrial potential in a short and medium term.
