TOPSIS-based ranking of alternative proteins based on their juiciness-related functional properties in meat analogues.

Food chemistry | 2026-May-23

This study evaluates various alternative proteins for their functional properties in meat analogues, identifying potato protein as the most promising candidate due to its superior emulsifying activity and high gel strength. The research highlights the potential of potato-derived proteins in food science applications to improve the juiciness and texture of plant-based products.

Genotyping the oldest potato blight specimen from Belgian mycologist Marie-Anne Libert.

Fungal biology | 2026-Jun

This study genotypes the oldest known specimen of Phytophthora infestans, the pathogen responsible for potato late blight, collected during the 1845 European outbreaks. Using DNA extraction and microsatellite genotyping, the researchers identified the sample as the FAM-1 genotype, providing historical insights into the genetic lineage of the pathogen that caused the Great Famine.

Exploiting Solanum tuberosum L. (Vitelotte Noire Cultivar) Peel as a Sustainable Antioxidant Source for Nutraceutical Applications.

Antioxidants (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-Apr-30

This study evaluates the antioxidant potential and phytochemical profile of the purple-fleshed potato cultivar Vitelotte Noire (Solanum tuberosum) peels. Using metabolomic analysis, the research identifies high concentrations of anthocyanins and phenolics, supporting the use of potato by-products for nutraceutical and functional food applications.

Proximate Composition, Amino Acid Content and Antioxidant Activity of Different Potato Varieties from the Matese Plateau (Southern Italy).

Foods (Basel, Switzerland) | 2026-May-08

This study evaluates the nutritional profile, amino acid composition, and antioxidant activity of three potato varieties (Agria, Désirée, and Kennebec) grown in Southern Italy. The findings highlight significant differences in protein and carbohydrate content among varieties, high phenolic levels, and a rich mineral profile, emphasizing their nutritional value.

Transcriptomic Insights into Paclobutrazol-Induced Modulation of Metabolic and Signaling Pathways During Microtuberization of Potato Solanum tuberosum L.

International journal of molecular sciences | 2026-May-21

This study investigates the transcriptomic and phenotypic changes in Solanum tuberosum during paclobutrazol-induced microtuberization. The research identifies key metabolic and signaling pathways, such as gibberellin restriction and starch accumulation, that drive the developmental shift from stolon growth to storage organ expansion.
