Article Synopsis
- - Potato tubers have natural defense substances like glycoalkaloids (α-chaconine and α-solanine) and calystegines that can be a concern for food safety.
- - Experiments showed that mechanical damage and light exposure raised glycoalkaloid levels in different potato cultivars, while heat did not have the same effect.
- - The study found significant variations in glycoalkaloid and calystegine levels among potato cultivars, indicating that these compounds are produced independently postharvest.
