Sensory and Consumer Profiling of Potatoes Grown in the USA By Sensory and consumer profiling of potatoes grown in the USA by Chetan Sharma B.S., Khalsa College Amritsar, Punjab, India, 2009 M.S., Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India, 2012 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Food, Nutrition, Dietetics and Health College of Health and Human Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Abstract Many studies related to potato sensory qualities are being published in journals focused on agriculture, plant breeding, biochemistry, biotechnology, marketing, food quality and sensory science. The growing number of these publications imply the importance of sensory based findings in achieving desired phenotype markers, consumer product acceptance, advertising claims, etc. It has been established that sensory tests are required and are of prime importance for future direction of research programs. Keeping this view in mind, a study was planned to investigate a number of potato cultivars for sensory language development, sensory profile, consumer liking and attitudinal responses. Potatoes have been a commodity of interest for some time due to nutritional and sensory reasons. Tuber quality traits from aroma, flavor and texture point of view are gaining importance in breeding and processing programs, thus, making it a need to develop a standard lexicon to provide common terminology for use in communicating between breeders, producers, marketers, and researchers. A highly trained panel developed, defined, and referenced a lexicon with 66 attributes using a consensus based descriptive analysis method with 55 cultivars of tubers. Samples were served mashed and air fried. Full lexicon includes five appearance attributes, eighteen aroma attributes, nineteen flavor attributes, twelve texture attributes, four mouthfeel and three aftertaste attributes. The 55 cultivars used for lexicon development were also successfully profiled for the developed attributes. Cooked, cardboard, umami, starchy, salty, metallic, bitter and astringent attributes were mostly common among all samples. Attributes such as vegetable complex, beany, nutty, toasted, sweet potato, eggy and cauliflower were unique to certain cultivars. The underlying construct behind food acceptability was investigated for mashed potatoes. Twelve cultivars of potatoes were tested for sensory profile development by open-ended and check-all-that-apply (CATA) question methodologies. Consumer terminology associated with liking included cooked potato aroma, cooked potato flavor and sweet taste, whereas chemical, unnatural, odorless, flavorless and metallic taste were associated with disliking. Open-ended question was found difficult by 67% of participants for top 3 box responses on 9-point difficulty scale. Grainy, mealy, lumpy, chunky and pasty texture was found disliked by consumers. Compared to open-ended questions, the amount of information composed by CATA method was less and inefficient to describe the samples fully. Hedonic potato liking by consumers was linked to sensory outcomes for the purpose to dissect flavor and texture preferences in the potatoes. The consumers were asked to evaluate liking on hedonic scale for 12 cultivars of potato. Sensory findings were collected by using Consensus- based Descriptive analysis approach for the same cultivars. The cluster analysis identified three subgroups with different overall liking patterns, indicating existing possibilities in the acceptance of wild, flavorful potato cultivars. Drivers of liking were identified for respective groups by using internal preference mapping technique. Dissimilar features were found important in determining hedonic potato likings. Purple Majesty, Masquerade and Rio Colorado cultivars were found most liked by respondents while Russian Banana least. Tuber color, price, cultivar name on package, color of peel and locally produced were found as important factors in purchase-decisions.

  • Potato Glossary
    A Potato Glossary A Potato Glossary by Richard E. Tucker Last revised 15 Sep 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Richard E. Tucker Introduction This glossary has been prepared as a companion to A Potato Chronology. In that work, a self-imposed requirement to limit each entry to a single line forced the use of technical phrases, scientific words, jargon and terminology that may be unfamiliar to many, even to those in the potato business. It is hoped that this glossary will aid those using that chronology, and it is hoped that it may become a useful reference for anyone interested in learning more about potatoes, farming and gardening. There was a time, a century or more ago, when nearly everyone was familiar with farming life, the raising of potatoes in particular and the lingo of farming in general. They were farmers themselves, they had relatives who farmed, they knew someone who was a farmer, or they worked on a nearby farm during their youth. Then, nearly everyone grew potatoes in their gardens and sold the extra. But that was a long ago time. Now the general population is now separated from the farm by several generations. Only about 2 % of the US population lives on a farm and only a tiny few more even know anyone who lives on a farm. Words and phrases used by farmers in general and potato growers in particular are now unfamiliar to most Americans. Additionally, farming has become an increasingly complex and technical endeavor. Research on the cutting edge of science is leading to new production techniques, new handling practices, new varieties, new understanding of plant physiology, soil and pest ecology, and other advances too numerous to mention.

  • Evaluation of 18 Specialty Potatoes in Southwest Michigan Dr
    Midwest Vegetable Trial Report for 2014 Evaluation of 18 Specialty Potatoes in Southwest Michigan Dr. Ron Goldy and Virginia Wendzel Southwest Michigan Research and Extension Center Benton Harbor, Michigan Objective The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the performance of 18 specialty potato selections for their adaptability to southwest Michigan growing conditions. This is the third year for evaluating specialty potatoes in an attempt to encourage farmer’s market vendors to make them part of their offerings. Summary Nineteen potato cultivars were evaluated for their production potential in southwest Michigan. A range in yield and tuber quality was found in the entries. Entries included russets, fingerlings, and other tuber types; therefore, the trial as a whole was not subjected to statistical analysis. The three russet tuber types (Rio Grande Russet, Canela Russet, and Russet Burbank) were subjected to analysis. Rio Grande Russet had a statistically higher total yield compared to Russet Burbank. The three entries were similar in other traits evaluated. Methods Fertilizer Prior to planting, polymer-coated urea (44-0-0), 0-0-60, 95% sulfur, and Granubor were broadcast and incorporated at 70, 200, 28, and 15 pounds/acre, respectively. After planting, nutrients were applied through a drip system using Nitro Plus (18N-5Ca-1.5Mg and a proprietary growth regulator) and 28% nitrogen (28-0-0). Nitro Plus was applied at 15 gallons per acre on June 16, 23, 30, and July 7. The 28% was applied July 14, 21, 28, August 3, 11, and 18 for a total nitrogen rate of 164 pounds per acre.

Potato CultivarTrial Disciplines Agricultural Science | Agriculture Comments The trial was designed to compare and evaluate thirteen potato cultivars for their production capabilities and fresh market potential. This trial emphasized cultivars that would appeal to specialty markets with half of them having yellow flesh. Regional potato trials can be important since potatoes are very sensitive to their growing environment and not all cultivars are adapted to Iowa. A prominent example is Russet Burbank, which when grown in our warm sandy soils produces mostly knobby deformed tubers, even when irrigated. On the other hand,Russet Norkotah will produce a large yield of attractive tubers right next to it growing under the same conditions. Thus, cultivar selection is very important for growers trying to market quality product. This report identifies several cultivars having distinctive characteristics making them suitable for fresh marketing and it also reveals a few not adapted to this region.
