• Determination of respiration rate and respiratory quotient (RQ) in different potato cultivars.
• Use of near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) as a non-destructive method to determine anthocyanins and carotenoids in specialty potatoes.
• Use of LED light to inhibit sprouting in potatoes.

The common thread among these research projects is to create support for the Idaho potato growers.

• My outreach and Extension program will allow me to interact with commercial growers, processors and shippers, at meetings, field days, visits, email and telephone. This program will be instrumental to all aspects of the Idaho potato industry via Extension publications and outreach activities including websites and social media tools (@TeixeiraUof).
