A genetically modified potato is a potato that has had its genes modified, using genetic engineering. Goals of modification include introducing pest resistance , tweaking the amounts of certain chemicals produced by the plant, and to prevent browning or bruising of the tubers.
Jan 6, 2022 · This review aims to highlight the current genetic engineering tools that are being employed in potato improvement, with special emphasis on varieties that have reached the market. It examines the traits that have been modified in potato, the methods used, and the final outcomes.

European Commission Approves GM Potato for Industrial Starch Use. Amflora (BASF) produces pure amylopectin starch used in certain technical applications. Food use is not foreseen. It was developed in collaboration with experts from the European starch industry to respond to the demand for pure amylopectin starch.
Jan 29, 2018 · Abstract. Starch is increasingly used as a functional group in many industrial applications and foods due to its ability to work as a thickener. The experimental values of extracting starch from yellow skin potato indicate the processing conditions at 3000 rpm and 15 min as optimum for the highest yield of extracted starch.
