Chipping performance of potato varieties grown at different locations

The chip quality and contents of dry matter and free sugars varied among varieties and locations. Potatoes grown at Bhubaneswar, Chhindwara, Deesa, Kota and Patna produced acceptable chips of golden yellow colour and had low concentration, 0.13 to 0.24% on fresh weight, of reducing sugars. The amount of reducing sugars was much more, 0.29 to 0.40%, than the permissible limits for processing at Faizabad, Muzaffarpur, Hisar, Jalandhar and Udham Singh Nagar that made the tubers unfit for making chips.
