Unequal distribution of pH, polyphenol content and polyphenol oxidase activity within Japanese processing potato tubers
Year: 2008
Type: article
Abstract: The pH, polyphenol content and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity in stem end, middle, and bud\nend of Norin No. 1 potatoes, one of processing varieties in Japan, were measured to investigate their\nrespective distributions. The stem end area had a higher pH and PPO activity in the three areas.\nThis result points out that careful harvesting and postharvest handling are needed especially at the\nstem end area of potatoes because of its high PPO activity.
