Abstract:
Potato is an important vegetable and has potential for use in the processing industry in India. Six potato genotypes viz. ‘Kufri Chipsona-1’, ‘Kufri Chipsona-4’, ‘Kufri Frysona’, ‘FC-3’, ‘Kufri Garima’ and ‘Lady Rosetta’ were evaluated to find out their suitability for processing into fresh fried potato chips. Significant differences in physico-chemical parameters were observed among the genotypes. ‘FC-3’, ‘K.Frysona’ and ‘Lady Rosette’ contained the highest amount of dry matter content and lowest amount of reducing sugars. While genotypes, ‘K.Garima’ and ‘K.Chipsona-4’ were found inferior for processing due to poor quality traits. Based on sensory characteristics, ‘FC-3’, ‘K.Frysona’ and ‘Lady Rosette’ were best for processing into fresh fried potato chips. Chips prepared from these cultivars had lower moisture content, oil uptake and higher yield than from other genotypes.
