Calcul<strong>at</strong>ion of Total Score - The overall postharvest r<strong>at</strong>ing for each clone is equal to the sum of the<br />
individual r<strong>at</strong>ings for each of the following quality characteristics:<br />
Quality Parameter<br />
Max. R<strong>at</strong>ing*<br />
Fry color prior to storage (0-5) 5**<br />
Specific gravity (0-5) 5<br />
Taste panel (avg of 5 pts for taste, texture, internal flesh color and<br />
limpness of cooked fries). (1-5)<br />
5<br />
After-storage (~60 days) fry colors & reducing sugars for tubers<br />
stored <strong>at</strong>:<br />
48F fry color (0-5) 5**<br />
48F Reducing sugars (1-5) 5<br />
44F fry color(0-5) 5**<br />
44F Reducing sugars (1-5) 5<br />
Postharvest r<strong>at</strong>ing = 35<br />
*all characteristics r<strong>at</strong>ed from 0-5 or 1-5 as indic<strong>at</strong>ed. A r<strong>at</strong>ing of 5 is best. **fry<br />
color can get ±1 for uniformity (see explan<strong>at</strong>ion below)<br />
**Uniformity of color from bud to stem end is also assessed. The fry color r<strong>at</strong>ings will gain or lose a<br />
point, depending on uniformity. For example, if the difference between stem and bud end fry color is<br />
