The aim of the work is to develop innovative technology for potato cultivation aimed at potato food processing with the use of effective microorganisms (EMs), limiting the chemicalization of agriculture. The basis for the research was a field experiment established by the randomized subblock method, in three repetitions, where two factors were examined: cultivation technologies (3) and potato varieties (14). The influence of experimental factors on the quality of French fries (FF) and potato chips (PC) was investigated. The water content was assessed by the drying method, and the fat content by the Soxhlet method. The sensory assessment was performed by a team of 10 panelists in accordance with EN ISO methodology. In the production of both FF and PC, cultivation technologies using EMs contributed to a significant reduction in the absorption of fats and a significant reduction in the disadvantages of FF, the so-called “dark ends”, and the sensory characteristics of these products have not deteriorated. Potato obtained from cultivation in the EM system is a better raw material for the production of FF and PC than potato from plantations without the use of effective microorganisms. The beneficial effects of these preparations depended on the exposure time to EMs and the potato variety.

Seven potato genotypes that are available in Bangladesh, were grown at the field laboratory under the Crop Botany Department, Bangladesh Agricultural University in 2014. Reducing sugars and free asparagine were determined at freshly harvested potato tubers and those after storing at 80C for 8 months. There was no significant variation of asparagine content in all genotypes of freshly harvested tubers. But a significant difference was found in reducing sugar content. The lowest was in the samples of the genotypes Cardinal and Rumanapakri, and the highest in Hagrai. The variety Diamant appeared to contain the lowest amount of reducing sugars after 8 months storage. The results showed that freshly harvested Cardinal, Rumanapakri and Diamant after storage produced less amount of acrylamide after frying as potato chips or French fries. It may be concluded that screening potato genotypes primarily on their reducing sugar contents could be useful tool to minimize acrylamide formation in potato chips and French fries. Further investigation is needed to find out the factors affecting reducing sugar and asparagine content in potato tubers.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.3(2): 295-304, August 2016

The aim of this study was to validate a GC-MS/MS method for determining acrylamide (AA) in potato-based products by using the solid-phase extraction (SPE) clean-up. The method consisted in defatting the sample (potato chips, French fries) with hexane, extraction of AA in water, centrifugation, followed by AA purification on two SPE columns. The purified extract was derivatized with bromine compounds, then extracted with ethyl acetate: hexane mixture. The residue dissolved in ethyl acetate and triethylamine was injected into the GC-MS/MS. The method showed a good precision (RSDr= 1.13- 4.26%; RSDR= 1.19- 8.84%) and accuracy (recovery= 85.64- 109.22%). The precision of the results was demonstrated by participation in two proficiency tests launched by the FAPAS® program, yielding z-scores of -0.8 (for pre-cooked French fries) and 0 (for potato crisps). Good sensitivity was achieved for potato chips with a LOD and LOQ of 6.94 and 20.83 μg/kg, while for French fries, it was 10.29 and 30.87 μg/kg, respectively. When applying the method on potato chips sample, the AA level varied between undetectable and 1504.93 μg/kg, while for French fries was between 31.45- 371.30 μg/kg. The method fulfilled the performance criteria of Commission Regulation EU 2017/2158 for the determination of AA in potato-based products.

Potato snack is one of the most popular snacks item in Bangladesh. In this study the nutrition facts of potato snacks (potato chips and french fries) of different brands of home and aboard and of different food chain shops were analyzed and compared with the ideal one. From this study it was observed that most of the brands have been deviated from the quantity of nutrition facts that should be contained in an ideal potato snack. The noteworthy difference was noticed for the case of protein content for potato chips. For French fries, it has been determined that homemade french fries contain the lowest fat and carbohydrate. Since potato snacks are a source of harmful trans-fat, saturated fat and also high in calories, this paper has been discussed some healthier alternatives to this salty snack such as baked potato snack, using sugar solution and sweet potato.
