dc.description.abstract	This study aimed at quantifying total glycoalkaloids, characterizing and quantifying a-chaconine and a-solanine of promising potato clones and varieties grown in Kenya. These compounds were studied with a view of ascertaining whether their contents varies with the potato types, changes in storage temperature and light exposure. It has been established that high levels (20mg/100g Fwt) of these compounds are toxic to animals and human and may change with storage and harvesting conditions.	en
