9781390477733 - A Comparison of Sebago, Cherokee, and Kennebec Potatoes in Relation to Their Suitability for Shipping and Manufacture of Potato Chips (Classic Reprint) de Kushman, ... (1 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book evaluates differences between Sebago, Cherokee, and Kennebec potato varieties for shipping and making chips. The author compares their maturity rates, appearances, resistances to defects like bruising and disease, and taste based on chip color. With roughly equal weight-loss during transit, Cherokee potatoes exhibit the least skinning, browning, and decay. While Sebago potatoes show the most injuries, they are the most resistant to decay. Meanwhile, Kennebec potatoes have the highest specific gravity and chip color variation, but also the most blackleg, deep-pitted scab, and greening. These findings provide valuable insights for potato farmers and shippers in selecting varieties best suited for their needs, contributing to the broader understanding of potato cultivation and distribution.
