The Quality of Potato for Processing and Consumption Gra

Potatoes are destined both for cooking in households and for food processing (chips, French fries, dehydrated products) as well as starch and alcohol production. The requirements of industries, regarding the chemical composition and quality of raw material vary, depending on the destination of the finished product. The technological value of potato is determined by a variety of features required by a particular industry. The properties and components of potato tubers affect the technological process, the yield and quality of the finished product. The nutritive value depends on the chemical composition of the product, including the presence of toxic compounds hazardous to human health. Potato cultivars have a great impact both on the technological value of potato destined for industrial use and on the quality of potatoes destined for human consumption. However, a number of factors determining the technological value of potato tubers can be influenced by human actions (fertilization, use of pesticides, planting and harvest dates, irrigation, storage conditions, etc.) and the environment (location of the field, weather and soil conditions). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
