MATSAL, LEONILA P. APRIL 2009. Fry Quality of Promising Potato
Selections Grown from Three Locations of Benguet. Benguet State University, La
Trinidad Benguet.
Adviser: Esther Josephine Sagalla, MSc
ABSTRACT
The study aimed to identify the location that produces potato selections with the
best fry quality, determine the potato entry with the best potato fry quality and determine
the interaction between locations and potato entries on fry quality.
The potato tubers harvested in Loo had the highest dry matter content and fry
yield. In addition, the fries produced from entries harvested at Loo were liked much by
the panelists. The fries produced from the tubers harvested at Bonglo and Sagpat were
moderately crispy, moderately perceptible, moderately oily, slightly firm, slightly brown
and were liked moderately by the panelists.
CIP 2.21.6.2 and Igorota have good fry quality based on high dry matter content
and high fry yield. Both entries produced fries which were liked much by the panelists.
Growing CIP 2.21.6.2 and Igorota in Loo might result in the production of tubers
with good fry quality.

INTRODUCTION
Filipino people both young and old enjoy potato fries due to its appealing taste
and low cost. As a result, a growing demand for potato snack food (BPRE, 2007) is
observed. However, Philippines is more of an importer than an exporter of fresh and
processed potatoes. In 2006, the Philippines imported 61,699 mt of a wide range of
processed potato products having a value of $ 30.5 M (PCARRD, 2008).
In addition, potato varieties such as Granola which are commonly grown in
Benguet are often not suitable for processing. Thus, the country needs immediate action
to continuously produce and evaluate potential processing varieties to sufficiently supply
the increasing demand for processed potatoes (Balaoing, 2006).
The most significant factor that may influence quality of potatoes for processing
is the variety. Varieties for potato fries must have a tuber dry matter content of 21-24 %
for high fry recovery, less oil uptake, crispy texture and light yellow or light brown sticks
(Balaoing, 2006). Potato processors are inclined to pay significant price premiums if
such favored varieties are developed (Van der Zaag, 1990). However, Cordillera which
produces 75% of potatoes in the Philippines (PCARRD, 2008) grow a limited number of
varieties suitable for processing. Thus, continuous selection for varieties suitable for
processing must be done.
Another factor which may influence fry processing quality is the growing
condition. Different growing conditions may enhance processing qualities of these
varieties. Therefore, evaluation of the processing varieties grown from different
locations is important.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Nutritive Content of Potato
Potato is approximately 80% water, 17% carbohydrates, 20% protein in its raw
and cooked status. As a consequence, energy content of raw potato is less than that of
raw cereals and legumes (Artzen, 1994).
One hundred grams of French fries have a nutrient content of 309.1 cal. food
energy, 4.0 grams of protein, 38.6 grams of carbohydrates, 16.1 grams of total fat, 5.0
grams of saturated fat, 3.2 grams of dietary fiber, 712.0 milligrams of potassium, 5.3
milligrams of vitamin C, 33.0 micrograms of foliate, 29.0 milligrams of vitamin A (FFD,
2001).
Preferred Tuber Characteristics for Fries
Netherlands Potato Consultative Foundation (NIVAP, 2007) stated that the
external quality of potatoes is extremely important in the processing industry.
Characteristics of particular interest are the shape and the extent of external damage.
Size, shape and shallow eyes are important with regard to the appearance of the product
and the influence on wastage during peeling. French fry producers prefer long oval or
long tubers with a size of at least 50 mm. Both the processing efficiency and quality of
the finished product benefit from a high dry matter content. For the production of French
fries, potatoes with a dry matter content of 20-24% are preferred. If the dry matter
content is too low, the French fry will be soft or too wet. A high dry matter content
concentration results in a lower fat content. This lowers the processing costs and is better

4
for the health of consumers. However, if the dry matter content is too high, the French
fry will be too hard and dry.
According to Batt (2001), the four most important attributes that Filipino potato
farmer’s sought for their most preferred variety was tuber size, tuber shape, skin color
and the suitability of the variety to the growing environment. The tuber size, tuber shape
and skin color are no doubt related to the marketability of the tubers.
Potatoes intended for processing as French fry should have a sugar level less
than 1.2% mg/g or 0.125% of the tuber fresh weight. Potatoes with higher values than
these will usually show color problems after cooking (Stark
et al., 2001).
Potatoes with
low starch can lead to poor texture and excess oiliness while high reducing sugars caused
undesirable dark fry color (Mosley, 2005).
Another important aspect of characteristics for processing quality is the color
distribution. Unevenness in color distribution results in French fry with a brown color at
one end. The cause of this phenomenon is senescence after long storage and secondary
growth (NIVAP, 2007).
Frozen processing varieties are preferably high in starch (high dry matter) and
low in reducing sugars. Approximately 80% of tuber dry matter is starch. High dry
matter potatoes are frequently thought as “dry” for most culinary purposes where as low
dry matter varieties are considered as “moist”. Tubers with less than about 18% dry
matter are seldom used for frozen processing because of poor texture. Approximately
two-thirds of the water in French fries is replaced by oil during frying. Varieties with
high water or low dry matter produce oily, soggy French fries. Because more water must

5
be removed during processing, product recovery is low and the cost of fry production is
higher making such varieties unprofitable in most situations (Mosley, 2005).
Mosley (2005) mentioned also that potato varieties vary in appearance, season
of maturity, internal composition, yield and tuber quality, pest and disease resistance and
adaptability. Early maturing varieties typically have short storage dormancy and are
usually processed at harvest on shortly afterward. Leading frozen processing varieties
are relatively late maturing, have long storage dormancies and can be processed for
several months. Hollow heart, internal brown spot, sugar-ends and stem-end
discoloration caused from heat, moisture and other environmental stresses during their
growing season. The disorders severely reduce processing quality, especially for frozen
fries which must be uniform in appearance. Sugar-end for example, causes “dark-end”
fries which are unacceptable to the industry and must be discarded.
Tuber Moisture Content and Crispness
The increase in final frying time increased crispness, but it cannot
counterbalance a lack of pre-frying. The differences in crispness due to different pre-
frying time cannot be explained in terms of moisture content of the whole French fries,
but can be explained in terms of the moisture content of the outer layer. The pre-frying
step likely affects the morphology of the outer crust by allowing an easier loss of water
during the final frying step (Sanz
et al., 2007).
Factors Affecting Tuber Dry Matter Content
Date of planting (early planting) helps increase dry matter content by
lengthening the growth period. Crops that mature early generally have higher dry matter
Fry Quality of Promising Potato Selections Grown
from Three Locations of Benguet / Leonila P. Matsal. 2009
6
content than later plantings. The earlier the plants appear and can begin to produce solids
from photosynthesis the better. Soil type, water holding capacity, drainage, structure,
fertility and temperature of the soil can affect dry matter. For example, a sandy soil could
be expected to drain better than a clay loam. In a wet season this could be an advantage
and a higher dry matter may result. In order for the potatoes to achieve optimal maturity
and reach good dry matter levels at harvest, the tubers should be left as long as possible,
bearing in mind the comments made on time of planting and the growth period (Kellock,
1995).
Factors Affecting Tuber Sugar Content
Stark
et al. (2001) mentioned that tuber maturity, temperature
, variety
, storage
stress and handling affect the sugar content of a tuber. As the tuber grow and mature, the
sugar content decreases, reaching the lowest point when the vines are rearing complete
senescence. For potatoes intended for French fry processing, the temperature is about 47
to 50oF. It is critical to match varieties with intended use. Potatoes bred for French fry
processing typically have intermediate sugar contents.
The major factors that influence tuber sugar concentrations and fry color are the
growing season, cultivar and storage management. Fertilization practices, diseases, and
other management practices can also have an effect (Sanders, 2008).
Alingbas (2007), found out that the lowest sugar content was obtained from
accessions 96-06 (5.88 oBrix) while the highest sugar content was obtained from
accessions 5.19.2.2. (6.29 oBrix).
Sugar content is a varietal characteristic that maybe influenced by
environmental factors in a location (Peet, 2007).

Processing of Potato Fries
Raw products play an important role in processing, fry yield and finished
quality. Every effort should be made to obtain potatoes with few external and internal
defects and of the proper starch and sugar content. Tuber malformations and mechanical
injury can lead to excessive peel and trim loss. Trimming and peeling potatoes reduces
overall weight by approximately 22%. Blanching using hot water reduces total raw
product weight an additional 5-10%. Par-frying reduces raw product weight an
additional 16% despite 6-8% oil absorption. Par-frying assures that all enzyme activity is
terminated and tissues are stabilized for long-term frozen at about -23.3 to 28oC on
conveyor lines to stabilize the tissues in preparation for packaging and long term storage
(Mosley, 2005).
Potato Fry Storage
Par fries can be held long-term in a frozen state. Smaller cuts can be stored up
to 12 months and larger cuts up to 18 to 24 months at about -18oC without serious loss of
quality due to dehydration. However, processors prefer to store only 6-9 months
(Mosley, 2005).
Potato Varieties Identified in the Philippines
Four new potato varieties which possesses the desired dry matter content
required by the fast-food chains to make good French fries were Igorota, Solibao, Ganza
and the fourth one which has yet to be given an official tag (Cariňo, 2007).

Results of Local Studies
Igorota variety is good for processing because of its 16.6-17.50% dry matter
content and sugar content of 4.00-4.74 oBrix. The potato fries also were moderately
crispy, moderately perceptible, moderately oily, moderately firm, and liked very much by
the panelist (Ruega, 2005).
Alingbas (2007) found out that Balili and Longlong are the best sites in growing
organic potatoes for chip processing because these sites produced high chip yield and
light yellow chips with moderately browning. In addition, tubers from accessions
5.19.2.2 and 676089 showed good chip characteristics such as high dry matter and high
chip recovery. Both accessions also produced tubers with crispy chips which were liked
much by the panelists.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Marketable potato tubers harvested from different locations of Benguet were used
for potato fries. Five hundred grams of sound potato tubers per replication per entry was
processed. The potato tubers were washed, peeled and cut into 7mm to 12 mm thick
sticks (Macmillan, 2000). The sticks were soaked in cold water and pat dried using clean
cotton cloth.
The dried strips were partially fried or par-fried for about 2 to 3 minutes in hot
vegetable oil under 180oC. The par-fried strips were packed and quickly frozen at about
1oC within 7 to 9 days. The frozen par-fried sticks were finally fried at about 2-3 minutes
under 180oC until the oil stops bubbling. Finally, the fried entries were quickly evaluated
by ten panelists.
The experiment was laid out in split- plot design with three replications. The
treatments were:

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Temperature, Relative Humidity and Rainfall
The temperature, relative humidity and rainfall from the different locations were
taken from July 2008 to September 2008 (Table 1).
Potatoes grow best in temperature ranging from 17-22 oC (HARRDEC, 1996).
Loo, Bonglo and Sagpat are within this temperature range which maybe favorable to the
production of potatoes for good fry quality.
Relative humidity (95.62%) and rainfall (6.73L) are highest in Bonglo. Relative
humidity and rainfall might influence the fry quality of the potato tubers by causing
changes in the dry matter of tubers. For instance excess of water during the growth of the
plants will result to low dry matter content (Kellock, 1995).

Dry Matter Content
Effect of location. Highly significant differences are observed on dry matter
content of the tubers harvested from different locations. Tubers harvested from Loo gave
the highest dry matter (Table 2). Dry matter content might be attributed to the rainfall
and relative humidity during the growth stage of the plants.
Loo and Sagpat which had the highest rainfall and relative humidity produced
tubers with low dry matter content. Excessive water is said to result to low dry matter
content in the potato tubers (Kellock, 1995). However, all the tubers harvested from the
different locations might be suitable for processing due to their above 18% dry matter
content.
Effect of entry. The tuber dry matter content of the different entries ranged from
18 to 20%. The highest dry matter content of 20% was obtained from CIP 380241.17,
PHIL 5.19.2.2, CIP 573275, PHIL 2.21.6.2 and Igorota.
All the entries may be used for fry processing since tubers with less than 18% dry
matter are seldom used for frozen processing because of poor texture (Mosley, 2005).
The dry matter content of the different entries might be attributed to their genetic
characteristic and maturity of the crops. Entries that mature early generally have higher
dry matter content (Kellock, 1995).
Interaction effect. A highly significant interaction was observed between
locations and entries on tuber dry matter content. CIP 380241.17 and CIP 573275
planted in Loo gained the highest tuber dry matter content (Fig. 2).
Dry matter content is affected by genetic characteristics but maybe influenced by
water uptake, temperature, photoperiod and others (Rastovski
et al., 1981). Thus, both

entries and location must be considered in selecting potato entries for processing in terms
of dry matter content.

Sugar content (oBrix)
Effect of location. Highly significant differences are observed on the sugar
content of the potato tubers harvested from different locations (Table 3). Potato tubers
harvested from Sagpat gave the highest sugar content while potato tubers from Bonglo
gave the lowest sugar content.
Sugar content is a varietal characteristic that maybe influenced by environmental
factors in a location (Peet, 2007). The low sugar content of the potatoes from Bonglo
may be due to the high rainfall of the site.
Effect of entry. The potato entries significantly differed in terms of sugar content.
The lowest sugar content was obtained from CIP 380241.17 and CIP 573275 but are not
significantly different from the rest of the entries except Granola and CIP 676070. These
entries with low sugar contents may be processed into fries with less browning.
The sugar content of the entries might be attributed to cultivar characteristics
(Sanders, 2008).
Interaction effect. No interaction existed between the locations and entries.
However, lowest sugar content was exhibited by PHIL 5.19.2.2 in Bonglo.

Potato Fry color
Effect of location. The color of the processed fries from each location showed no
significant differences (Table 5). However, entries harvested from Loo and Sagpat
produced yellow potato fries (rating 3) while those harvested from Bonglo produced light
yellow fries (rating 2).
Effect of entry. Significant differences are observed in the color of the processed
fries from the different entries. PHIL 5.19.2.2, PHIL 2.21.6.2 and Igorota produced light
yellow fries while Ganza produced fries that are dark yellow with browning (Fig. 5).
The color of the potato fries maybe due to the sugar content of the tubers. The
light yellow fries from PHIL 5.19.2.2 and Igorota may be attributed to their low sugar
contents (3.4 and 3.3 oBrix, respectively). The relatively high sugar content of the other
entries may have resulted to dark fry color (Mosley, 2005).
Interaction
effect. A highly significant difference exists between the locations
and potato entries (Fig. 4). Fries processed from Ganza harvested at Sagpat was dark
yellow with browning while PHIL 5.19.2.2, CIP 380241.17 and Igorota harvested at Loo
obtained a yellow fry color (Fig. 5). This result implies that both entries and location are
important factors in selecting potatoes with light yellow to yellow fries.

Fry Sugar End
Effect of location. Potato tubers harvested from Loo produced fries with sugar
ends while those harvested from Bonglo and Sagpat had no sugar ends (Table 6).
The presence of sugar ends on the fries from Loo may be attributed to the
relatively high sugar content of the tubers (Stark
et al., 2001).
Effect of entry. Most of the entries had no sugar end (Fig. 7) except CIP 573275,
CIP 380241.17 and Granola. The presence of sugar end in the potato fries of these
entries (Fig. 6) maybe due to the sugar level of the potato tubers. Less than 0.125 %
sugar of the tuber’s fresh weight is required in processing to avoid color problems after
cooking (Stark
et al., 2001).
In addition, the presence of sugar end which causes dark-end fries are
unacceptable to processing and must be discarded.

Sensory Evaluation
Effect of location. The potato fries that were produced from the potatoes
harvested from the different locations were moderately crispy, had moderately
perceptible taste, were moderately oily, slightly firm, and slightly brown (Table 7). Dry
matter content may influence the crispiness, oiliness and texture of the potato fries
produced. On the other hand, sugar content of the tubers may influence taste and
browning pattern of the fries.
Moreover, the fries that were produced from tubers harvested in Loo were liked
much by the panelists which may be attributed to the color and sugar content of the fries.
The fries of the tubers harvested in Bonglo and Sagpat were moderately liked by the
panelists.
Effect of entry. Most of the potato fries of the different entries were slightly to
moderately crispy, had moderately perceptible taste, were moderately oily, slightly firm,
and slightly brown. Potato fries of the entries PHIL 5.19.2.2 and CIP 676070 were
slightly oily which may be due to their relatively high dry matter contents. Varieties with
high dry matter content concentration results in a low oil content (NIVAP, 2007).
PHIL 2.21.6.2 and Igorota produced fries which were liked much by the panelists.
The acceptability of the fries maybe influenced by the sugar content of the tubers and
color of the fries (Alingbas, 2007).

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary
The study was conducted to identify the location that produces potato selections
with the best fry quality, determine the potato entry with the best potato fry quality, and
determine the interaction between locations and potato selection on fry quality.
Potato tubers harvested from the three locations had a dry matter content ranging
from 19 to 20%. Loo gained the highest dry matter content while Bonglo and Sagpat
gained the lowest. The highest sugar content was obtained from the potato tubers
harvested from Sagpat.
Potato tubers from Bonglo produced light yellow fries with no sugar end. The
fries produced from the three locations were moderately crispy, moderately perceptible,
moderately oily, slightly firm, slightly brown and were liked moderately by the panelists.
The fries from Loo were liked much.
CIP 380241.17, PHIL 5.19.2.2, CIP 573275, PHIL 2.21.6.2 and Igorota had the
highest dry matter content. The high dry matter content of these entries resulted to high
fry yield. Highest sugar content which was exhibited by PHIL 2.21.6.2, Granola, CIP
380241.17 and CIP 573275 resulted to sugar end on fries.
All entries produced fries with moderately perceptible taste, were slightly brown
and slightly firm. Moderately crispy fries were also obtained from most of the entries
except CIP 573275, PHIL 2.21.6.2 and Ganza which produced slightly crispy fries. PHIL
2.21.6.2 and Igorota were liked much by the panelists.

Interaction between the location and potato entries were highly significant on dry
matter content, sugar end and potato fry color. No significant interactions were observed
on sugar content and fry yield.
Conclusion
Loo is the best site to produce potato entries with the best fry quality. Potatoes
harvested from Loo had dry matter contents acceptable for processing. Tubers from Loo
also produced the highest fry yield and the fries were liked much by the panelists.
Tubers from PHIL 2.21.6.2 and Igorota showed good traits for fry quality. Both
entries had high dry matter content and high fry yield. Moreover, processed fries from
both entries were liked much by the panelists.
Growing PHIL 2.21.6.2 and Igorota in Loo might result in the production of
tubers with good fry quality.
Recommendation
Based on the results, Loo, on the other hand, is recommended for producing
potato selections suitable for fry processing.
CIP 2.21.6.2 and Igorota are recommended for potato fry processing because of
their high fry yield, high dry matter content and acceptability.
Growing CIP 2.21.6.2 and Igorota in Loo is recommended for producing potatoes
with good fry quality.
