Research Project:
Evaluation of Native Andean Potato Cultivars As a Source of Antioxidants for the Human Diet
Location:
Vegetable and Forage Crops Production Research
Project Number: 5354-21220-002-05
Project Type:
Reimbursable
Start Date: Oct 01, 2002
End Date: Sep 30, 2005
Objective:
Characterize Peruvian potato varieties for pigment content and antioxidant capacity.
Approach:
Tubers grown in the field will be analyzed for anthocyanin and carotenoid concentrations by extracting hydrophilic and lipophilic fractions. Extracts will be measured for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. Fractions will be separated on high performance liquid chromatography to identify phenolics, anthocyanins and carotenoids.
