Abstract

Attempts to assess the tryptophan content of whole potato (Solanum tuberosum) tuber by colorimetry using glyoxylic acid-tryptophan chromophore reaction gave inflated results and the Spies W method had to be used. However, cystine + cysteine estimated by a simple colorimetric procedure using NaBH4 and Ellman's reagent was successful for raw and cooked potatoes.
