06 Jun 2024 --- Scientists in the US have formulated a genetically engineered potato variety to minimize the off-color browning and caramelization in the crop. This yields healthier, higher-quality potato chips with extended cold storage times with potential to address the snack industry’s storage issues. The innovation is based on Kalkaska potatoes, a Streptomyces scabies-resistant variety developed by the Michigan State University (MSU), which conducted the study.
