Abstract: | Summary Texture of boiled potato tubers (cv. Beate) was studied over several months of storage at either 4 or 8 °C, in relation to
dry matter content, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), methyl groups, glucose, starch and amylose. The dry matter content decreased
significantly during storage at 4 °C, but increased at 8 °C due to evaporation. The insoluble NSP contained rhamnose, galactose,
arabinose, xylose, mannose, fucose and glucose; the first three sugars decreased significantly after the first 7 weeks of
storage. Fracturability and percent compression before break increased during storage at 8 °C, particularly percent compression
after 15 weeks. The change in fracturability could partly be explained (R2=43.4%) by the content of the NSP and the increase in percent compression by dry matter (R2=91.8%). Changes in texture during storage at 4 °C, however, were not striking, and could not be explained by changes in the
potato components that were analysed. |
