Effects of agronomical practices on potato growth, nutritional profile, and suitability for frying.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study investigated the effect of sulfur nutrition, basalt rock aggregate (BA) application, with a carbon capture function, and speed breeding under light-emitting diode (LED) light, on the nutritional profile of potatoes and acrylamide formation in crisp production.

Results

Taurus potatoes grown with sulfur showed reduced glucose, sucrose, and total amino acids, and increased asparagine. No difference in acrylamide content was observed in crisps from Taurus and Lady Claire cultivars, with either sulfur or BA application. Speed breeding under LED light reduced plant height in all cultivars (50-60 cm) in comparison with controls (80-90 cm). Tubers grown under LED light exhibited higher levels of glucose and fructose, and increased formation of acrylamide in cri
