TGA: total glycoalkaloids; LC: liquid chromatography; UV: ultraviolet; MS/MS: tandem mass spectrometry; HP: high performance.

Study year is in this case the year of publication.

a

Experiments were conducted with peeled potatoes, cut into cubes of 10 mm.

b

Results were presented for α‐solanine and α‐chaconine.

Note: The reduction is given as the percent reduction in the TGA content after peeling.
