Researchers overexpressed the StGCL gene in potato to enhance glutathione biosynthesis, which significantly reduced acrylamide formation during high-temperature frying. This study demonstrates a novel genetic approach to improving food safety and stress resilience in potato tubers by leveraging endogenous detoxification pathways.
This study investigates the synergistic effects of TGase and Ca2+ on the structural and stability properties of potato protein-sesbania gum composite gels. The findings demonstrate that specific concentrations of these additives significantly improve gel strength and water-holding capacity, offering potential for developing innovative potato protein-based food products.
This study investigates how polysaccharides from the mushroom Phlebopus portentosus affect the physicochemical properties and digestibility of potato starch. The research demonstrates that these polysaccharides can reduce starch digestibility and increase resistant starch content by altering the starch's microstructure and crystallinity.
This study investigates the use of dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS), a volatile compound derived from predatory mites, to control the potato tuber moth (Phthorimaea operculella). The research demonstrates that DMTS significantly disrupts the pest's mating, oviposition, and ovarian development, offering a potential semiochemical-based strategy for sustainable potato crop protection.
This study utilizes integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis to identify a regulatory network involving MYB and WRKY transcription factors and Resistance Gene Analogs (RGAs) in potato late blight resistance. It highlights the critical role of phenylalanine metabolism in the potato's defense response against Phytophthora infestans.
This study investigates the mechanisms of acrylamide formation in a potato-based model during air frying, specifically examining how oxygen supplementation influences chemical pathways and precursor degradation. The findings provide insights into reducing acrylamide levels in processed potato products by manipulating the frying microenvironment.
This study investigates the formation and structural stability of amyloid-like fibrils derived from potato proteins under different drying conditions. It demonstrates that freeze-drying best preserves the β-sheet organization and network structure of these fibrils, providing insights for their use in food structuring and bio-based materials.
This study investigates the formation of hazardous compounds like acrylamide in various thermally processed foods, identifying potato products as particularly susceptible to acrylamide formation during roasting. The research highlights the impact of raw materials and processing methods on food safety, which is relevant to potato-derived food science.
This study investigates the use of copper oxide nanoparticles synthesized from the fungus Lecanicillium aphanocladii as a green fungicide to combat Fusarium wilt in potatoes. It explores how these nanoparticles enhance the plant's molecular and antioxidant defense mechanisms against the fungal pathogen.
This study utilizes resequencing technology to investigate the genetic basis of the early-maturing trait in the elite potato parent Kexin23. The research identifies key genomic regions and mechanisms that contribute to its superior performance, providing valuable insights for potato breeding and functional genomics.
