Abstract
Seven processing potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars were evaluated for biochemical properties, starch morphology, crystallinity and thermal properties. One-way ANOVA results indicated a significant difference in those quality properties of individual potato cultivar. Dry-matter, total starch, and reducing sugar contents were ranged in 21.34 ~ 24.88%, 15.6 ~ 18.3%, and 0.24 ~ 1.09%, respectively. Glucose and fructose contents were ranged in 1.03 ~ 5.28% and 0.59 ~ 3.69 mg/g DW, respectively. Saebong, a round-oval shape with white-fleshed potato cultivar, was higher in dry-matter and total starch contents. The cultivars of Atlantic, Jinseon, and Saebong showed lower reducing sugar contents ranged in 0.24 ~ 0.27 mg/g DW. The extracted potato starches showed a similar morphology, which was round, oval or elliptical shape with mixed sizes of large, medium and small starch granules and glossy surface with regular pattern. The X-ray diffraction patterns were a typical B-type, which was generally observed in root plants. The major crystallinity peaks were at 5.5°, 14°, 17°, 19°, and 22° in 2Ɵ. There was a positive correlation between the onset temperature (To) with dry-matter and total contents, but a negative correlation with reducing sugar, glucose and fructose contents. The variations in physicochemical and starch properties of different potato cultivars could be directly related to the use of potato, which make them useful for industrial application.
Resumen
Se evaluaron siete variedades de papa para proceso (Solanum tuberosum L.) para sus propiedades bioquímicas, morfología del almidón, cristalinidad y propiedades térmicas. Los resultados en un sentido del ANAVA indicaron una diferencia significativa en esas propiedades de calidad de variedad de papa en lo individual. Los contenidos de materia seca, almidón total, y azúcares reductores, fluctuaron de 21.34 ~ 24.88%, 15.6 ~ 18.3%, y 0.24 ~ 1.09%, respectivamente. Los contenidos de glucosa y fructosa tuvieron amplitudes de 1.03 ~ 5.28% y 0.59 ~ 3.69 mg/g PS, respectivamente. Saebong, una variedad de papa de forma redonda a oval, de pulpa blanca, fue la más alta en materia seca y contenido total de almidón. Las variedades Atlantic, Jinseon y Saebong mostraron el más bajo contenido de azúcar reductor fluctuando entre 0.24 ~ 0.27 mg/g PS. Los almidones extraídos de la papa mostraron una morfología similar, que era redonda, oval o elíptica con tamaños mezclados de gránulos de almidón largo, medio y pequeño, y superficie brillante con un patrón regular. Los patrones de difracción de rayos X fueron de una forma típica tipo B, lo que fue observado generalmente en las raíces de las plantas. Los picos más grandes de cristalinidad estuvieron a 5.5°, 14°, 17°, 19°, y 22° en 2Ɵ. Hubo correlación positiva entre la temperatura establecida con peso seco y contenido total, pero negativa con el contenido de azúcar reductor, glucosa y fructosa. Las variaciones en propiedades fisicoquímicas y almidón de las diferentes variedades de papa pudieran estar relacionadas directamente al uso de la papas, que las hacen útiles para aplicación industrial.
