1322076 apple Malus domestica Apples are an all-American success story-each of us eats more than 19 pounds of them annually. Thanks to fruit-breeding research, we're able to enjoy more productive, healthy, and flavorful new varieties every year. And we're collecting and preserving the world's bounty of apple genestock, so that the apples of tomorrow may be even sweeter crunchier, and better than ever. Think about the quality of the apples you buy at the supermarket: They may have been stored for as long as 9 months but you can bet they'll remain crisp, thanks to controlled-atmosphere-storage methods devised by ARS. Never before have growers had a better chance against pests and diseases in the apple orchard, thanks to new, nonchemical biocontrols. ARS scientists have toiled to harness naturally occurring yeasts and bacteria and turn them against apples' enemies. We've even worked on bashless bagging-packaging systems that are used by wholesalers to bring you apples without bruises.

1322066 potato Solanum tuberosum Yes, Americans do love their spuds! We each eat about 125 pounds of them a year, about half from fresh potatoes and half in processed foods. Research has brought forth a slew of new, improved potato varieties for both uses. Take, for example, Atlantic-it makes potato chips with lower fat content than any other variety, thanks to its low ratio of water-to-solid-tissue. Atlantic is now the Nation's number one chipping potato. Are you one of the millions of Americans who never peels potatoes? Then perhaps you rely on our instant potato flakes. We invented the process in 1954 to help use up surplus potatoes. Our instant flakes were an instant hit and a big improvement over earlier powdered potatoes. Today, abut 400 million pounds of potato flakes are produced each year in the United States. Ever have a bag of potatoes go bad? Then you've probably met Phytophthora infestans, a fungus that can suddenly turn potatoes into a slimy, smelly mess. Over the years, this fungus, which affects potatoes in storage and in the field alike, has been controlled by chemicals. Lately, though, the microorganism has been showing a worrisome resistance. ARS scientists are developing new solutions to combat this old problem.

1322064 peanut Arachis hypogaea When you add it all up, peanuts aren't just peanuts-they're quite an important crop. The United States produces between 3 and 4 billion pounds of peanuts annually, and about 40 percent of these go into processed foods, from salted peanuts, candy, crackers, and cookies to peanut butter. They're a major source of vegetable oil too. peanuts have been the object of scientific study since George Washington Carver's day. ARS scientists have worked to improve peanut flavor and quality both by breeding better peanuts and by finding better ways to process them. Success came with the discovery of ways to extend the shelf life of peanut products, since unstable fatty acids in peanuts can cause unpleasant flavor changes. We've also found ways to remove part of the oil from the peanut without serious loss of flavor. Partially defatted peanuts are now sold by several companies, and the market is growing. With the help of precision lab instruments and the sensitive noses of volunteers, ARS chemists have pinpointed chemicals that are crucial to that unmistakable peanutty flavor. This work reveals that roasted peanuts probably owe their rich, nutty aroma to a blend of about a dozen natural compounds. The findings could be used to enrich the flavor of roasted peanuts by adding back compounds that are sometimes lost in processing.
