Liquid chromatographic dedection of chlorogenic acid (5-O-gaffeoylqunic acid) in various potato (Solanum tubersum L.) tubers: light-induced and short-term storage effects

Abstract

In this research, the contents of 5-caffeoylquinic acid that is an major chlorogenic acid in some potato (Salamım tuberosum L.) genotips as Agria, Granola, Marfona, Concorde grown in Ege Area were determined by Reversed Phase - High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC) with diiodarray dedection. The total chlorogenic acid contents of 4 commercial çultivars were also determined. With the exposure of these commercial cultivars to three different conditions as dark fluorescent and day-light storage for up to 15 days, influences upon chlorogenic acid contents were investigated.
