Abstract

The study was conducted to assess the biochemical composition of 18 domestically bred potato varieties used in chip production in Western Siberia. The work was conducted from 2022 to 2024 in Novosibirsk region. Lady Kler variety, which is widely used in the chip industry, was selected as the standard. The soil of the experimental plot was medium-deep leached chernozem. The experiment was established and records were collected according to All-Russian Research Institute of Potato Crops (VNIIKh) methodology. Biochemical assessment of tubers was performed according to A.I. Ermakov’s method, the quality of the crispy potato slices was assessed visually using HunterLab scale. Meteorological conditions during the study years were significantly variable, with alternating periods of deficient and abundant moisture throughout the growing season. Average yields exceeding 29 t/ha were observed for Evpatiy (29.4 t/ha), Bashkirskiy (29.9 t/ha) and Argo (29.9 t/ha) varieties. Samorodok (Ka = 1.42), Shakh (Ka = 1.41) and Evpatiy (Ka = 1.17) varieties were distinguished based on the adaptability coefficient (Ka), which are characterized by high productivity and tolerance to regional conditions. The highest dry matter content was observed in Nadezhda (29.24%), Artur (28.29%) and Vychegorskiy (28.60%) varieties, while the highest starch content was found in Vychegorskiy (19.12%) and Artur (17.85%). The lowest reducing sugar content (0.22%), which ensures the light color of chips, was found in Evpatiy, Artur and Rozovyy Charodey varieties. Evpatiy, Artur and Nadezhda (9 points) were the leaders in terms of suitability for processing into chips. Evpatiy variety (dry matter 25.21%, sugars 0.22%, yield 29.4 t/ha) is the most promising alternative to Lady Kler. Arthur and Nadezhda varieties are also suitable for chip production, but their cultivation requires optimized agricultural practices to increase productivity.
