Abstract
Potato phenolics exhibit health-promoting effects. Studies on bound phenolics are scarce. Here, significant differences in total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant activity in free and bound forms were found among 19 potato genotypes. 7 free and 24 bound phenolics were characterized and quantified using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometry, among which 22 bound phenolics are reported for the first time in potato. The number and content of identified free and bound phenolics changed considerably among the genotypes. Chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid and rutin in free form, and benzoic and caftaric acids in bound form were predominant. Heijingang showed the highest free and total TPC and antioxidant activity, and the largest number of phenolic compounds, whereas S17-1-1 contained the highest free and total TFC and Longshu 7 contained the highest bound phenolic content. Cluster analysis segregated the genotypes into 6 groups. This study provides useful information on benefits of potato in human health.
