Advances in Potato Chemistry and Technology, Second Edition, presents the latest knowledge on potato chemistry, including the identification, analysis, and uses of chemical components in potatoes. Beginning with a brief description of potato components, the book then delves into their role during processing, then presenting information on strategies for quality optimization that provides students, researchers, and technologists working in the area of food science with recent information and updates on state-of-the-art technologies. The updated edition includes the latest information related to the identification, analysis, and use of chemical components of potatoes, carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate composition, cell wall chemistry, an analysis of glycoalkaloids, phenolics and anthocyanins, thermal processing, and quality optimization. In addition, new and sophisticated methods of quality determination of potatoes and their products, innovative and healthy potato-based foods, the future of genetically modified potatoes, and the non-food use of potatoes and their products is discussed. Includes both the emerging non-food uses of potato and potato-by-products as well as the expanding knowledge on the food-focused use of potatoes Presents case studies on the problems, factors, proposed solutions, and pros and cons of each, allowing readers facing similar concerns and issues to effectively and efficiently identify an appropriate solution Written by a global collection of experts in both food and non-food potato science INDICE: Potato origin and production Cell wall polysaccharides of potato Structure of potato starch Potato proteins Potato lipids Vitamins, phytonutrients, and minerals in potato Glycoalkaloids and calystegine alkaloids in potatoes Potato starch and its modification Colored potatoes Postharvest storage of potatoes Organic potatoes Potato flavour Microstructure, starch digestion and glycaemic index of potatoes Thermal processing of potatoes Fried and dehydrated potato products Textural characteristics of raw and cooked potatoes Mechanisms of oil uptake in French fries Acrylamide in potato products Advanced analytical techniques for quality evaluation of potato and its products The role of potatoes in biomedical/pharmaceutical and fermentation applications Novel applications of potatoes Potato proteomics: a new approach for potato processing industry Potatoes and human health
