Carotenoid composition in native and commercial potato (Solanum sp.) cultivars

Year: 2011

Type: conference-abstract

Abstract: The present study was aimed to characterise the carotenoid profile in a wide selected collection of potato tubers in order to provide information to be used in breeding programs directed to improve the nutritional value of potatoes, as well as to increase our knowledge of the biochemical insight of the processes governing the biosynthesis of carotenoids in Solanum tubers, with especial emphasis in the role of the \nesterification of xanthophylls.
