Abstract

Total amino acids and composition of raw and cooked tubers were determined by gas‐liquid and ion‐exchange column chromatography. Peeled raw potato, after reaching the end product state, lost 40% of its free amino acid pool. Processing into dehydrated granules by the freeze‐thaw process caused only small losses in total amino acids and little change in their composition. There was only a 4.5% destruction of essential amino acids and a total loss of 2.1% of non‐essential amino acids, excluding aspartic and glutamic acids which comprised 48% of peeled and sliced potatoes.
