Steroidal glycoalkaloids are naturally occurring, secondary plant metabolites that are found in foods, including potatoes and tomatoes. Their content in plants is controlled by both genetic and environmental factors. Glycoalkaloid profiles can be passed to progenies during breeding and hybridization

To assess whether reported toxicities of potato-derived glycoalkaloids could be the result of interactions with cellular DNA, the genotoxic effects of alpha-solanine, alpha-chaconine and solanidine were studied, using the Ames test (Salmonella strains TA98 and TA100), the mouse peripheral blood

A combined derivatization method for gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) analysis of steroidal glycoalkaloid (SGA) aglycons was developed using both trimethylsilylation and pentafluoropropionylation. In comparison with underivatized or only silylated aglycons, the new technique produces more specific and abundant fragmentation for
