- Abstract
Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a horticulture product containing a carbohydrate complex. This review aims to understand the potatoes characteristics, quality measurement, postharvest handling, and extended shelf life Potatoes contain carbohydrate content that reaches about 18%, 2.4% protein, and 0.1% fat. The total energy gained from 100 g of potatoes is about 80 kcal. Potatoes have characteristics such as very easy experiencing damage during harvesting, storage, and distribution. Damage in potatoes relates to temperature, lighting, and microbiological breakdown. This study aims to deliver a better knowledge of potato’s quality characteristics and how to measure its quality by observing the skin color, shape, and skin condition, as well as weighing the skin to know the level of potato maturation. Potatoes handling is well explained to extend the shelf life by using heating and cooling treatment before processing it into potato flour. In addition, this potato flour retains its carbohydrates, B vitamins, vitamin C and a little vitamin A, as well as a source of minerals (phosphorus, iron, and potassium) that has a further potential utilization as thickener, binder, former, and non-stick agent.
