The main characteristics of the varieties in terms of SG, pH, and
sugar content are also shown in Table 3. There were no significant
differences in pH and SG values among the cultivars analyzed in
this study. However, the average reducing sugar content of Whiterose
potato was significantly greater (0.34%) than the other varieties.
The cultivars with the lowest reducing sugar contents, ATX 854
04-8W (0.03%) and NDTX 4930-5W (0.08%), were the ones that produced
potato chips with the lowest acrylamide content. Based on
these results, we cannot say that there is a correlation between reducing
sugar and acrylamide formation. More experiments need to
be done to exactly determine the amount of reducing sugar and
potato variety.
