Potato starch characteristics and its modification, nutritional and feeding value, and non-food uses of potatoes are also explored. Chapters focused on developments in post harvest storage, breeding and germplasm resources and production of potatoes with reference to industrial usage are included; Includes bibliographical references and index; Introduction: Potato tuber -- an introduction / Jaspreet Singh and Lovedeep Kaur -- Potato origin and production / John E.
