A Review on Greening and Glycoalkaloids in Potato Tubers: Potential Solutions.

Greening is an undesirable trait that develops in potatoes upon light exposure. This condition lowers market value, increases tuber waste in retail stores, and consequently influences the price of product in the long run. When potatoes are subjected to artificial light, the amyloplast converts into chloroplast. Although the development of total glycoalkaloids (TGA) is independent of light, the greening induced by exposure of potato to artificial light is an indication of probable TGA acceleration, which could be present in a low amount initially. Several research studies on optimum postharvest factors (temperature, lighting condition, relative humidity, pretreatment, storage air composition, and packaging) have been carried out to avoid greening and TGA development. This current review highlights major postharvest factors and summarizes past research regarding cause of greening and TGA development in potatoes in retail stores. Additionally, it also portrays the potential solutions that could help mitigate this problem, ultimately reducing wastage and achieving food security.
