China's potato processing and industry status
Potato has good nutritional and economic value and is widely used in the food industry, starch industry, feed industry and pharmaceutical industry. At present, China's potato planting area and total output have jumped to the top in the world, and consumption is also one of the fastest growing countries in the world. Although China has become a big potato producer and consumer, from the farmer's cultivation to the enterprise processing, the whole industry is still in a relatively extensive stage and cannot meet the growing market demand. How to use the existing potato varieties and domestic potato chip equipment to produce higher quality potato products is a topic worth studying.
1 The origin, crop characteristics and nutritional value of the potato
1. 1 The origin and spread of potatoes
The earliest historical record of the world about potatoes was in 1537. Subsequently, Iopez de Gomara (1552) reported on potatoes in southern Peru, and Pedro Cieza de leon (1553) reported the presence of potatoes in Colombia and northern Ecuador. Domestication and extensive cultivation of potatoes is one of the most remarkable events for humans to conquer nature. The 16th century was confined to South America and was not known to European, Asian and North Americans. Through the spread of Spanish conquistadors, it became one of the most important crops in the world in just 300 years.
