In the case of complex carbohydrates the glycemic index is a measure of how quickly the carbohydrate is broken down. An example is to compare potato starch and polydextrose. Both are polymers of dextrose but potato starch in the form of mashed potato is rapidly broken down and causes a surge in blood sugar, i.e. it has a high glycemic index. In contrast, polydextrose, which has the dextrose units linked 1 - 6, a link that is rare in nature, is only 25% metabolised and has a very low glycemic index. 

Processing raw food reduced disulfoton levels in some potato products (Kleinschmidt 1971). Total residues were reduced by 35% with lye peeling. Lye peeling plus the first water blanching reduced the total disulfoton residue on a dry weight basis by 58, 74 and 61 % for french fries, dehydrated potato cubes and dehydrated mashed potatoes, respectively. 

Unifiber- Dose is 1 tbsp in 3 or 4 oz of fruit juice, milk, or water, or mix with soft foods such as applesauce, mashed potatoes, or pudding. Can be taken up to 3 times daily if needed or as recommended by a doctor. 

In a recent study in the United States, irradiation of a prepared meal consisting of Salisbury steak, gravy, and mashed potatoes at 5.7 kGy effectively eliminated the background microbial population and high concentrations of L. monocytogenes contamination without causing adverse effects on quality [91]. 

Ancient chuno production produced the first dehydrated potatoes, but for a modem context we need to move forward to the end of the 18th century. The first European reference (Burton, 1989) to dried potato was by Parmentier in France in 1781 in the form of biscuits made from boiled potatoes for use by sailors. He also discussed methods of drying cooked potatoes in forms to be reconstituted by the addition of boiling water. Although the first US patent for dehydrating mashed potatoes was granted to Edwards in 1845 (Eskew, 1959), it was in wartime in industrialized countries in the 20th century that dehydration was widely practiced. Dehydrated potatoes provided combatant troops with a food that was less bulky than fresh potatoes and easier... 

For mashed potato texture, profile analysis (TPA) and cone penetration tests are performed with a TA HDi Texture Analyser (Stable Micro Systems Ltd, Godaiming, UK). During the tests, the mashed potatoes are kept at 55° C by means of a temperature-controlled Peltier cabinet (XT/PC) coupled to a separate heat exchanger and PID control unit. For the cone penetration tests, a spreadability rig is used, consisting of a 45° conical perspex probe (P/45°C) that penetrates a conical sample holder containing 7 0.1 g of mashed potatoes (Alvarez et al., 2005 Canet et al., 2005b Fernandez et al, 2006). 

It is generally accepted that each hydrocolloid affects the pasting and rheological properties of starch-based systems, like mashed potato, in a different way (Chaisawang and Suphantharika,... 

Fernandez et al. (2007) have characterized the rheological behavior of the mashed potatoes with added biopolymers using steady shear measurements. Fresh and frozen/thawed mashed potatoes present shear thinning with yield stress (Canet et al., 2005a), and dynamic shear data reveal weak gel-like behavior in potato purees (Alvarez et al., 2004). The effects are strongly...
