Being one of the most consumed vegetables across the world, potato is a highly nutritious crop, constituting an important source of essential compounds for human health. The present study evaluated the total content of phenolic compounds (TPC)in the skin and flesh of several Romanian potato cultivars with different resistance to potato virus S (PVS) grown in Brasov, over two years. Significant differences were observed across the cultivars. Lower levels of TPC were found in the flesh than in the skin of the tubers. Blue genotype “Blue Purple of Galanesti” and Romanian cultivar ‘Foresta’ had the highest values for TPC in skin and flesh. This study contains information regarding the content of valuable micronutrients of several new Romanian potato cultivars with good nutritional quality and different resistance to PVS.
