This thesis describes an investigation of the nutritional characteristics of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) that included starch quality, glycemic index (GI), glycemic load (GL), protein content, antioxidant capacity, ascorbic acid, and phenolics. In the first study, nineteen genotypes from the Quebec breeding programs at Les Buissons and McGill were examined and three top performing genotypes were identified including Kalmia, QP01009.05JP, and MS1406, which were selected based on lower GL, superior starch characteristics, greater antioxidant capacity, and phenolic content. Multivariate regression models were developed to define various explanatory variables that can predict GL. In the second study, four somatic lines derived from Russet B...
