    Abstract : Abstract The oomycete Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease of potato, is notorious for developing resistance to conventional control strategies (fungicide application and resistance breeding by introgression of R gene). To increase our tool box of disease management strategies available to combat P. READ MORE

  5. 3. Means to Optimize the Nutritional Properties of Starch in Potato Products - Impact on glycaemia, satiety and resistant starch content

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; orange-fleshed sweet potato; food processing; high-performance liquid chromatography; β-carotene; β-carotene uptake; Caco-2 cells; provitamin A carotenoids; vitamin A deficiency; iron;

    Abstract : Vitamin A deficiency is a major nutritional disorder in a large number of developing countries. The disorder is mainly caused by an inadequate intake of preformed vitamin A and provitamin A carotenoids from the diet. It is also recognized that vitamin A deficiency and iron deficiency tend to coexist in many population groups. READ MORE
