- Abstract
Potato tubers with purple flesh contain high levels of antioxidants as do some of many berries fruits. This study evaluated the total antioxidant activity (TAC) of four potatoes genotypes with purple colored flesh tubers in comparison with cranberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. The potential antioxidant activity (estimated byABTS method and DPPH scavenging activity) of the purple potato tubers were closed to that obtained for raspberries. Compared to other rich sources of polyphenols like the berries, the purple potato consumption has as special advantages the bioavailability and economic considerations (lower price).
