Two major steroid glycoalkaloids, in addition to α-solanine and α-chaconine, were isolated from leaves and aged tuber slices of potato, Solanum tuberosum L. var Kennebec. They are glycosides of tomatidenol and have been identified as α- and β-solamarine. The compounds were not found in tuber peel or freshly sliced Kennebec tubers or in 20 other cultivars. © 1974.
