    A review of the application of near-infrared spectroscopy for the analysis of potatoes

    Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important crops in the world being considered as a staple food in many developing countries. The potato industry like other vegetable and fruit industries is subject to the current demand of quality products. In order to meet this challenge, the food industry is relying on the adoption of nondestructive and environmentally friendly techniques to determine quality of products. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is currently one of the most advanced nondestructive technologies regarding instrumentation and application, and it also complies with the environment requirements as it does not generate emissions or waste. This paper reviews research progress on the analysis of potatoes by NIRS both in terms of determination of constituents and classification according to the different constituents of the tubers. A brief description of the fundamentals of NIRS technology and its advantages over other quality assessment techniques is included. Finally, future prospects of the development of NIRS technology at the industrial level are explored.

    Phytochemicals determination and classification in purple and red fleshed potato tubers by analytical methods and near infrared spectroscopy

    BACKGROUND: Over the last two decades, the attractive colours and shapes of pigmented tubers and the increasing concern about the relationship between nutrition and health have contributed to the expansion of their consumption and a specialty market. Thus, we have quantified the concentration of health promoting compounds such as soluble phenolics, monomeric anthocyanins, carotenoids, vitamin C, and hydrophilic antioxidant capacity, in a collection of 18 purple- and red-fleshed potato accessions. RESULTS: Cultivars and breeding lines high in vitamin C, such as Blue Congo, Morada and Kasta, have been identified. Deep purple cultivars Violet Queen, Purple Peruvian and Vitelotte showed high levels of soluble phenolics, monomeric anthocyanins, and hydrophilic antioxidant capacity, whereas relatively high carotenoid concentrations were found in partially yellow coloured tubers, such as Morada, Highland Burgundy Red, and Violet Queen. CONCLUSION: The present characterisation of cultivars and breeding lines with high concentrations of phytochemicals is an important step both to support the consideration of specialty potatoes as a source of healthy compounds, and to obtain new cultivars with positive nutritional characteristics. Moreover, by using near infrared spectroscopy a non-destructive identification and classification of samples with different levels of phytochemicals is achieved, offering an unquestionable contribution to the potato industry for future automatic discrimination of varieties.

    Prediction of main potato compounds by NIRS
    (AIDIC, 2017) López Maestresalas, Ainara; Pérez Roncal, Claudia; Tierno, Roberto; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ruiz de Galarreta, José Ignacio; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Proyectos e Ingeniería Rural; Landa Ingeniaritza eta Proiektuak; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    Potato (Solanum tuberosum, L) compounds are generally determined by analytical methods including gasliquid chromatography (GLC), HPLC and UV-VIS spectrophotometry. These methods require a lot of time and are destructive. Therefore, they seem to be not suitable for in-line applications in the food industry. Nearinfrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a technique that presents some advantages over reference methods for quantitative analysis of agricultural and food products since it is fast, reliable and non-destructive. For this reason, in this study, quantitative analyses were carried out to determine main compounds in potatoes using NIRS. Potato tubers grown in two consecutive years were used for the analyses. NIR spectral acquisition was acquired on lyophilized samples. In year 1, a total of 135 samples were used while 228 samples were used in year 2. Lyophilized samples were also scanned by NIRS, two replicates per samples were acquired and the mean spectrum of each sample was used for the analysis. Different chemical analyses were carried out each year. Thus, in year 1 the following parameters were quantified: reducing sugars (RS) and nitrogen (N), whereas in year 2, total soluble phenolics (TSP) and hydrophilic antioxidant capacity (HAC) were extracted and quantified. Then, chemometric analyses were performed using Unscrambler X (version 10.3, CAMO software AS, Oslo, Norway) to correlate wet chemical analysis with spectral data. Quantitative analyses based on PLS regression models were developed in order to predict the above chemical compounds of tubers in a non-destructive manner. Good PLS regression models were obtained for the prediction of nitrogen and TSP with coefficients of determination (R2) above 0.83. Moreover, PLS models obtained for the estimation of HAC could be used for screening and approximate calibrations.
