Summary

Tubers of nine commonly grown Indian potato cultivars were evaluated during storage in a BOD incubator at 5-7 °C up to 90 days. Significant varietal differences were observed among these genotypes in their biochemical constituents at the time of storage and during storage. Among these, 'Kufri Kuber', 'Kufri Jawahar', 'Kufri Chandramukhi' and 'Kufri Lauvkar' contained low reducing sugars and they produced chips of acceptable colour immediately after the harvest. On storage at 5-7 °C, all the cultivars showed accumulation of large quantities of reducing sugars and phenols and produced dark brown coloured chips. 'Kufri Kuber' was found superior in quality than the rest of the varieties due to its low accumulation of sugars even after 90 days of storage.
