| evaluation of content and estimation of daily intake of cadmium and lead in several varieties of potatoes (solanum tuberosum l.) cultivated in the canary islands (spain). | monitoring the metal content in foods such as potatoes is an important aspect of food safety and regulation. samples of nine varieties of potatoes (73 samples of local potatoes and 77 samples of imported potatoes) were randomly obtained from supermarkets, farmers markets, and farmer plots in tenerife (canary islands, spain). the edible portion (pulp) was the only part considered for analysis because spaniards traditionally eat only peeled potatoes. cadmium (cd) and lead (pb) were determined usin ... | 2014 | 24680081 |
| chemometric studies of chemical compounds in five cultivars of potatoes from tenerife. | a statistical study of correlation and multivariate analysis on the chemical composition of five cultivars of potatoes harvested in tenerife was carried out to establish the relationships between the chemical compounds and, therefore, to differentiate the samples according to traditional and recent importation potatoes, cultivars, and species/subspecies. a large number of significant correlations between the chemical compounds were found, which suggests biochemical relationships among them. afte ... | 2002 | 11902959 |
