Abstract:
One of the most significant vegetable crops grown worldwide is the potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Important phytonutrients like phenolics, flavonoids, polyamines, and carotenoids, which are found in potatoes, are much desired in a diet due to their positive effects on human health. The present investigation was carried out to evaluate phytonutrients from forty-three potato cultivars. The biochemical characters such as starch and total soluble sugars (2.68 %) were found higher in cv. 22-(P-4-400). The Kufri Chipsona-1 was registered with the minimum reducing sugars. The higher accumulation of crude protein and true protein content were observed in cv. 24-(P-48-800) and M. Modipuram C-10-400, respectively. The maximum accumulation of total phenol, and chlorogenic acid content was found in Kufri Nilkanth and Kufri Khyati, respectively. While, significantly higher amount of caffeic acid and salicylic acid were observed in cultivars22-(P-4-400) and Kufri Pukhraj, respectively. Total antioxidant activity was detected lower in Kufri Chipsona-1. Overall among the forty-three cultivars the cultivars 22-(P-4-400), Kufri Khyati, Kufri Nilkanth and Kufri Mohan have high nutritional value, which may use for table purposes. The breeder may use these cultivars for their quality improve potato programme. The cultivar Kufri chipsona-1 and cultivar 7(P-14-800) registered with lower content of anti-nutritional compounds such as glycoalkaloids, oxalate and phytate, respectively which may use for processing purposes.
