Abstract:
... Potatoes, especially colored, are perceived as a valuable source of bioactive compounds, and they are also an important raw material for starch production. There is virtually no information about starch from colored potatoes grown in Central Europe. Therefore, starches from light and colored potato varieties are isolated, and their particle size distributions, molecular masses, phosphorus content, ...
