Studies on Potato Tubers Quality
Regarding the Potential for Chips Production
Nowadays, the utilization of potatoes is
shifting away from table consumption to processed products. French
fries and chips are the preferred products in the world, where
tubers with a high content of dry matter and low concentration of
reducing sugars are preferable raw materials in order to produce the
desired texture and light yellow color.
Although Indonesia’s traditional food system is rice based, in
recent years, the country requires a large quantity of frozen
potatoes to meet demands. The high demand for processing tubers
cannot be fulfilled by local producers because approximately 90% of
total cultivated area in Indonesia produces tubers for table
purposes only. Therefore, the study of potato tubers quality is
required to examine the suitability of new cultivars for processing
purposes. Moreover, applied fertilizers during cultivation and
additional treatments during processing also play important role on
determining the quality of produced products.
This study aims to examine the suitability of new Indonesian potato
cultivars for chips production and to investigate the effect of
potassium fertilization and ultrasonication treatment on improving
the quality of potato tubers and produced chips.
