Potato glycoalkaloids and their significance in plant protection and human nutrition - review
Original language description
Potatoes contain among secondary metabolites especially glycoalkaloids that are important in their defence mechanism against different pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and insects. On the other hand these glycoalkaloids are significant toxinsin human as well as animal nutrition. In the potatoes the most present glycolalkaloids are a-solanine and a-chaconine forming as high as 95 % of total glycoalkaloids. The other glycoalkaloids found are b- and g-solanines and chaconines, a- and b- solamarines and aglycones demissidine and 5-b-solanidan-3-a-ol, and in wild potatoes leptines, commersonine, demissine and tomatine. Potato glycoalkaloids are cholinesterase inhibitors and cause poisoning leading to accumulation of acetylcholine in nerve tissue. New varieties have to contain less than 200 mg glycoalkaloids kg-1 fresh wt. and appreciated are varieties containing 20-130 mg glycoalkaloids kg-1 fresh wt. The major factors affecting glycoalkaloid content in potatoes are variety, gre
