About this ebook

Advances in Potato Chemistry and Technology, Third Edition is a comprehensive guide that explores the identification, analysis, and application of chemical components in potatoes for both food and non-food uses. This edition thoroughly revises and updates previous content, offering foundational science on potato components, structure, and functional components. The book further delves into the variety of potatoes, their storage conditions, and optimal processing methods. Editors Singh and Kaur have collaborated with global experts to provide insights into emerging areas, including genetic modification, health benefits, food security contributions, and waste utilization.Ideal for academic and industry food scientists, food chemists, and nutritionists, this book is also valuable for those involved in food security and advanced-level food science students. It includes information on the burgeoning field of genetic modification, the role of potatoes in human health, and their impact on food security. Additionally, the book addresses the reduction and utilization of potato waste, making it a vital resource for anyone interested in the multifaceted applications of potatoes. - Includes both the emerging non-food and food uses of potato and potato-by-products - Provides a revised and updated resource with the latest insights into advances, challenges, and prospects - Presents global perspectives from an international team of experts

About the author

Dr. Jaspreet Singh, Senior Research Officer, Riddett Institute, Massey University, New Zealand. Dr. Singh's research focuses on characterising future carbohydrates to develop novel and healthy food products. He leads several research projects on potatoes, starch, cereals and supervises graduate and post graduate students at the Riddet Institute. He has characterised Taewa (Maori potatoes) of New Zealand to develop new and nutritionally rich food products. Collaboration is a key part of his research and he works in collaboration with food chemists, engineers, nutritionists, and the food industry. He is committed to sharing research with others and has published research papers in international journals, written book chapters and presented his work at international conferences.
