Regularly consuming orange-fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSP) is widely recognised as an effective way to treat vitamin A deficiency (VAD), particularly in low-income countries. Unfortunately, cultivars of OFSP are poorly disseminated in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa, where VAD is a major cause of blindness. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the genotype-environment interaction (GEI) on the performance and stability of the yield components of OFSP cultivars to trigger their adoption by farmers.

Objective: The current study tested whether consciously controlled chewing frequency influences the oral processing of habitually consumed foods and their sensory analysis.
Method: Chewing behaviour was analysed during the mastication of mushed potato samples by 20 participants in two separate test sessions, in which they were instructed to chew the sample in their habitual manner (free chewing test) or follow a preprogrammed video animation displayed on a screen, wich guided them to maintain a constant chewing frequency (F-const chewing test).
Integrated physiological, transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal potential mechanisms of potato tuber dormancy release.

Regulating potato tuber dormancy is crucial for crop productivity and food security. We conducted the first comprehensive physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic investigations of two varieties of long and short dormant potato tubers in order to clarify the mechanisms of dormancy release. In the current study, three different dormant stages of UGT (ungerminated tubers), MGT (minimally germinated tubers), and GT (germinated tubers) were obtained by treatment with the germination promoter gibberellin A and the germination inhibitor chlorpropham.

However, enhancing their functional properties remains a challenge. In the current study, potato starch-pectin (PSP) composite films were fabricated and enriched with juniper berry essential oil (JBEO) to improve their physicochemical properties.

Unlabelled: Potato peels are one of the most under-utilized wastes which can be highly beneficial to mankind. The red potato peel powder was prepared by using tray drying and vacuum-oven drying method. The proximate analysis of red potato peel powder was conducted followed by its characterization which includes FT-IR, XRD, TGA, DSC, and SEM.
