Abstract

As one of the most widely consumed vegetables globally, the potato represents a nutritionally valuable crop, providing an important source of essential bioactive compounds beneficial to human health. The present research aimed to assess the total carotenoids content (TCC) in both the skin and flesh of ten Romanian potato cultivars exhibiting varying degrees of resistance to Potato Virus Y (PVY), cultivated in Brașov over a two-year period. The analysis revealed significant varietal differences. Overall, the flesh of the tubers showed lower TCC levels compared to the skin. Among the examined cultivars, the Romanian variety Sevastia (resistant to PVY) recorded the highest concentrations of carotenoids in both tissues. The findings contribute valuable insights into the micronutrient composition of recently developed Romanian potato varieties, characterized by high nutritional value and diverse PVYresistance
