Glycoalkaloid content of some potato (solatium tuberosum L.) varieties grown in kenya as influenced by light and different storage conditions (Doctoral dissertation, University of Nairobi).http://kalroerepository.kalro.org/handle/0/13350This 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.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Book147GlycoalkaloidsSolanum tuberosumPlant physiologyanalysis
