| Abstract: | A rapid procedure for determining tuber maturity and processing quality using a blood glucose monitor is outlined. The procedure is simple to use, inexpensive and gives acceptable percent glucose and sucrose rating (SR) values for commercial applications. The procedure has been used successfully for determining the best time to sell commercial quantities of stored tubers (cvs. Norchip, Niska) for processing as chips in Alberta. |
