Presentation

In the present outbreak, however, the potatoes imported from Israel, had an exellent flavor and appearance despite their high solanine content. Solanine is soluble in water and diffused by boiling potatoes but not by baking them. [accessdata.fda.gov]
However, it is an indication that increased level of solanine and chaconine may be present. Some plants’ diseases and mechanical damage can dramatically increase the levels of glycoalkaloids present in potatoes as a natural reaction of the plant. [flipper.diff.org]
Potato is, together with rice or wheat are the foods that presents bigger quantity of this component. [botanical-online.com]
