2013 NFPT samples for mid-storage testing were finished at the USDA lab at EGF, MN. Sugar (sucrose and glucose) contents, specific gravity, and acrylamide levels were measured. This information will be of great help for both breeding programs and processing industry to identify advanced clones that possess great potential for high frying quality but low acrylamide in long-term storage.
