Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Increasing UV-C irradiation dose together with decreasing storage temperature was a good combination for sprouting suppression in potato tubers.
- Intervention effect Increasing UV-C irradiation dose with decreasing storage temperature reduced weight loss percentage in potato tubers.
- Intervention effect Increasing UV-C irradiation dose with decreasing storage temperature reduced the increment of soluble solids content in potato tubers.
- Intervention effect Increasing UV-C irradiation dose with decreasing storage temperature kept dry matter content of potato tubers almost constant.
- Observation Only potato tubers not irradiated and stored under ambient air showed damage.
- Intervention effect A 10 min UV-C irradiation was too low to be effective for sprouting suppression or for maintaining other quality attributes at any storage temperature in potato tubers.
- Recommendation Exposure to 15 min UV-C is recommended as post-harvest treatment for small potato tubers stored at 8 o C.
- Intervention effect Storing potato tubers at 13 o C after high irradiation doses gave very low sprouting weight in small and big tubers.
