Developments in potato chemistry, including identification and use of
the functional components of potatoes, genetic improvements and
modifications that increase their suitability for food and non-food
applications, the use of starch chemistry in non-food industry and
methods of sensory and objective measurement have led to new and
important uses for this crop. _Advances in Potato Chemistry and
Technology_ presents the most current information available in one
convenient resource.The expert coverage includes details on findings
related to potato composition, new methods of quality determination of
potato tubers, genetic and agronomic improvements, use of specific
potato cultivars and their starches, flours for specific food and
non-food applications, and quality measurement methods for potato
products.
* Covers potato chemistry in detail, providing key understanding of
the role of chemical compositions on emerging uses for specific food
and non-food applications * Presents coverage of developing areas,
related to potato production and processing including genetic
modification of potatoes, laboratory and industry scale
sophistication, and modern quality measurement techniques to help
producers identify appropriate varieties based on anticipated use
*Explores novel application uses of potatoes and potato by-products to
help producers identify potential areas for development of potato
variety and structure
