“…So, nutritional value of potatoes and potato products might be overlooked [30]. Due to confounders such as cooking method and storage, the association between dietary potato intake and health is complex [40]. Despite recent recommendations to consume starchy foods, we should consider the above-mentioned points for daily consumers of potato even in local foods [41].…”

Background: This study evaluated the association of frequency of potato and rice consumption with cardiometabolic risk factors in children and adolescents. Methods: This nationwide cross-sectional survey was conducted on 14,400 children and adolescents. Fasting blood was obtained from a sub-sample of 4200 randomly selected students. Physical examination and laboratory tests were conducted under standard protocols. Metabolic Syndrome (Mets) was defined based on the Adult Treatment Panel III criteria modified for the pediatric age group. The self-reported frequency consumption of white rice and potato was reported on a daily or non-daily basis. Results: The participation rate for the whole study and for blood sampling were 99 and 91.5%, respectively. Overall, 49.4% of the participants were girls while 50.6% were boys. The frequency of daily consumption of white rice and potato was 84.4 and 21.3%, respectively. In the multivariable linear regression model, daily consumption of potato increased body mass index (β: 0.05, SE: 0.20, p = 0.010), waist (β: 0.63, SE: 0.24, p = 0.008), and hip circumferences (β: 0.62, SE: 0.26, p = 0.019). Moreover, in the multivariable logistic regression, daily consumption of potato was significantly associated with an increased risk of overweight (OR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.04-1.39, P = 0.012). The potato and rice consumption had no statistically significant association with other cardiometabolic risk factors. Conclusions: Daily consumption of potato was significantly associated with higher anthropometric measures, whereas rice consumption had no statistically significant association with cardiometabolic risk factors. Future research to examine the possible obesogenic effects of intake of potato on children and adolescents is recommended.

“…[12,13,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32] In the present work, the capping selected to stabilize the Ag-NPs was potato starch. Potato starch has very low aqueous solubility at room temperature, [33] which implies heating the mixture to dissolve potato starch granules in water. Nevertheless, this heating-based dissolution of starch can be a problem for the AgNPs synthesis because the 3D-structure of dissolved starch influences the chemical synthesis.…”

The synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is widespread nowadays due to their intrinsic properties, from antiseptic, antifungal, anticancer, and also as carriers of bio‐active natural carriers when the synthesis is performed using natural products. Starch is also a widely used capping agent of AgNPs, considering its ideal properties, such as, natural product, environmentally friendly, bio‐compatible, easy to obtain, and low cost. Nevertheless, there are already scientific evidence that the aqueous dissolution of starch granules is different when using conventional heating and microwave heating. In fact, these two different heating processes originate starch molecular structures in water with different physicochemical properties. Hence, the preparation method adopted for starch solutions must influence the synthesized AgNPs capped with starch. In the present work, the dissolution of starch is achieved by microwave and the parameters during the dissolution process are optimized, aiming at the highest absorbance values and lower surface plasmon resonance band of starch capped AgNPs suspensions. The stirring speed, microwave power, temperature, and heating time for the preparation of aqueous solution of potato starch are optimized to high, 300 W, 100 °C, and 2 min in this work.

“…Compared to other starches, potato starch has superior characteristics because it is easily isolated, of high purity and of large granule size, needs low temperatures for gelatinization and produces gels with highest viscosity [ 2 ]. Depending on genotype and growing environment, a fresh potato tuber contains about 20% of dry mass, 60–80% of which is starch [ 3 ]. Dedicated starch varieties may even reach a starch content of up to 23% of fresh mass [ 4 ].…”

Potato wild relatives provide a considerable source of variation for important traits in cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) breeding. This study evaluates the variation of tuber starch content and nitrogen utilization efficiency (NutE) in wild potato germplasm. For the experiments regarding starch content, 28 accessions of ten different tuber-bearing wild Solanum-species were chosen, and in vitro plantlets were raised from seeds. Twenty plantlets (= genotypes) per accession were then cultivated in the greenhouse until natural senescence and tuber starch content was determined. The average tuber starch content across all genotypes tested was 21.7% of fresh mass. Contents above 28% of fresh mass were found in 50 genotypes, belonging to the species S. chacoense, S. commersonii, S. jamesii, and S. pinnatisectum. Subsequently, 22 wild genotypes revealing high tuber starch contents and four modern varieties of cultivated potato were studied as in vitro plantlets under optimal and low N supply (30 and 7.5 mmol L−1 N). Low N supply lead to a genotype-dependent reduction of shoot dry mass between 13 and 46%. The majority of the wild types also reduced root dry mass by 26 to 62%, while others maintained root growth and even exceeded the NutE of the varieties under low N supply. Thus, wild potato germplasm appears superior to cultivars in terms of tuber starch contents and N utilization efficiency, which should be investigated in further studies.
