Two varieties of potatoes, Irish cobbler and Shimabara stored for seven and nine months respectively by irradiation combined with natural low temperature (year-round temperature change:$2{\sim}17^{\circ}C)$ on a batch scale were investigated on the suitability for processing of potato chip. Nine months after storage, irradiated potatoes (Irish cobbler) tended to maintain somewhat-better texture and sensory quality than untreated in potato chip processing. Peel rate, closely related to potato chip yield, of untreated potatoes were $20{\sim}25%$ higher than those of irradiated and Agtron color determination of potato chip from both irradiated were commercially acceptable. Preservation of potatoes by irradiation combined with natural low temperature was evaluated as an alternative method of the supply for raw materials of potato chip processing in the off season in Korea.

Biopolymer is a versatile material used in food processing, medicine, construction, and soil reinforcement. 𝛽-glucan is one of the biopolymers that improves the soil water content and ion adsorption in a drought or toxic metal contaminated land for plant survival. We analyzed drought stress damage reduction in sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L. cv. Sodammi) by measuring the growth and major protein expression and activity under 𝛽-glucan soil amendment. The result showed that sweet potato leaf length and width were not affected by drought stress for 14 days, but sweet potatoes grown in 𝛽-glucan-amended soil showed an effect in preventing wilting caused by drought in phenotypic changes. Under drought stress, sweet potato leaves did not show any changes in electrolyte leakage, but the relative water content was higher in sweet potatoes grown in 𝛽-glucan-amended soil than in normal soil. 𝛽-glucan soil amendment increased the expression of plasma membrane (PM) H⁺-ATPase, but it decreased the aquaporin PIP2 (plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2) in sweet potatoes under drought stress. Moreover, water maintenance affected the PM H⁺-ATPase activity, which contributed to tolerance under drought stress. These results indicate that 𝛽-glucan soil amendment improves the soil water content during drought and affects the water supply in sweet potatoes. Consequently, 𝛽-glucan is a potential material for maintaining soil water contents, and analysis of the major PM proteins is one of the indicators for evaluating the biopolymer effect on plant survival under drought stress.

As the demand for processing potatoes increases, imports of raw potatoes and potato products are increasing, so it is necessary to expand potato production as raw materials for processing in Korea. Potato varieties for processing that can be grown in fall have been developed, but research on cultivation technology and processing quality management technology to improve chip processing quality is very insufficient. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the optimal harvest time by investigating the quantity and chipping characteristics of potato chips during autumn cultivation. As the test varieties, the chip processing varieties "Saebong", "Eunsun", and "Geumnaru" were used, and the potato cultivation site was the Seocheon-gun Test field (214 Gaeya-ri) of the Chungcheongnam-do. The test treatment was at harvest time after spring cultivation, and the potatoes were harvested at 70, 80, 90, and 100 days after sowing based on the sowing time. The investigation items were potato productivity (total yield, yield of standard processing, and number of tubers) and chip-processing characteristics (chip color, dry matter content, glucose content, etc.). As a result of examining the yield characteristics according to the harvest time, statistical significance was not found according to the treatment. The total yield (ton/ha) was 27.5 to 30.5, and there was no significant difference depending on the time of 70 to 100 days after harvest. The standard quantity for processing (yield of 81-250g potatoes per unit) also showed a similar trend. In chipping characteristics according to harvest time, statistical significance was high in specific gravity and glucose content. The specific gravity was highest at 1.077 at 70 days after harvest, and the glucose (mg/dL) content was the lowest at 37.5 at 80 days after harvest. Statistical significance was not recognized, but chip color (L value) was the highest at 64.4 at 70 days after harvest. Therefore, it is judged that the optimal harvesting time for chip processing is 70 to 80 days after sowing.

Potato greening determines the shelf life and affects the marketability of this tuber. Various stresses during handling and storage interact to affect the tuber's physiological status and can affect the rate of greening. This study investigated the effects of storage temperature on tuber greening and shelf life in unwashed and washed potatoes of the cultivar Superior. Physiological and biochemical changes were examined during 15 days at room temperature ($23{\pm}2^{\circ}C$) under cool-white fluorescent light after storage for 1 month at different temperatures ($4^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$). Hunter a values were negative (-) for washed potatoes after 3 days (-0.8) and 15 days (-2.5) at room temperature following 1 month of storage at $4^{\circ}C$ while positive (+) values were observed for unwashed potatoes after 15 days at room temperature. The Hunter ${\Delta}E$ values of washed potatoes previously stored at $4^{\circ}C$ for 1 month increased after 3 days at room temperature compared with those of unwashed potatoes. The total chlorophyll content of washed potatoes was higher than that of unwashed potatoes. The highest correlation was observed between the Hunter ${\Delta}E$ value and Hunter a value (-0.93506), while a positive correlation coefficient (0.89806) was observed between greening criteria and Hunter ${\Delta}E$ value by using colorimetry. We conclude, therefore, that there is a biosynthetic link between temperature-induced chlorophyll accumulation and tuber greening in storage.

This study aims to seek ways to improve frying stability of soybean oil which is widely used for deep frying while at the same time attempting to develop new frying oil and fat of high quality. Taking soybean oil as a control group, the study fried frozen potatoes with hydrogenated soybean oil with iodine value ranging from 60 to 110 for 15 hours. The test results showed that in frying stability, hydrogenated soybean oil with iodine value of 87 and 63 was superior to normal soybean oil and hydrogenated soybean oil with iodine value of 111(P<0.05). In sensory evaluation, however, no significant difference can be detected among groups(P>0.05). The correlation between physicoche-mical properties and sensory evaluation results was highest for smoke point and viscosity. This study concludes, therefore, that hydrogenated soybean oil with iodine value of 60~90 is better than normal soybean oil as deep-frying oil.

An advantage to the extrusion of raw potatoes is a reduction in the energy input required to process potato products; however, the effects of extrusion on the properties of raw potato have not been studied. The purposes of this study were to develop a workable extrusion process for raw potato and to study the effects of extrusion conditions on the pasting properties of extruded potato products. The peak viscosity, final viscosity, pasting temperature, water solubility index, and water absorption index of pressed and pressed-dried potato extrudates decreased as die exit temperature increased, whereas they did not change as screw speed increased. The peak viscosity, final viscosity, and water solubility of steam-cooked potato products decreased with extrusion processing; however, they did not change with increasing die exit temperature and screw speed. Potato products with different degrees of depolymerization of extruded potato starch, depending on die exit temperature, were produced from raw potatoes.
