Lipid changes during the production of potato granules

• Potato granules were produced by an add-back-process. The lipid composition of the potato tubers and the final potato granules were assessed in order to study the influence of the process. The extracted lipids were fractionated into three major classes, neutral lipids, galacto-lipids and phospholipids, on a silicic acid column. The free fatty acids were separated from the neutral lipids by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The fatty acid composition of the three lipid classes as well as the free fatty acid fraction was analysed by gas chromatography. No changes could be observed in the galactolipids and the phospholipids but the free fatty acid content was found to be about ten times higher in potato granules than in the potato tubers. © 1989.
