Abstract:

This study aims to assess the nutritional quality of new winter potato varieties (lines) and select the applicable materials for staple food. The ‘Lishu 6’ variety was used as control, the main nutritional quality traits of five new potato varieties (lines), including the contents of dry matter, reducing sugar, vitamin C, protein, starch, resistant starch, amylose and amylopectin, and etc., were analyzed. Combining with principal component and correlation analysis, the fuzzy mathematics membership function method was used to evaluate the main nutritional quality of potato tubers of different varieties (lines). It was found that the reducing sugar has demonstrated the maximum variable coefficient (31.17%), while the minimum variable coefficient was reflected on the amylopectin (2.37%). Moreover, the dry matter, amylose and amylopectin were able to represent 85.239% of the nutritional quality to a large extent. Fuzzy mathematics membership function analysis further suggested that the recommended order of the experimental potato varieties (lines) for food consumption was: ‘D1224’> ‘D1428’> ‘D1208’> ‘Dianshu 23’> ‘Dianshu 47’> ‘Lishu 6’.
