Summary Three crisping potato cultivars, Record, Saturna and Hermes, were stored at 5 or 10°C in gas mixtures of either 0.5% CO2 and 21.0% O2 (control) or 9.4, 6.4, 3.6 or 0.4% CO2 all combined with 3.6% O2. There was almost complete sprout inhibition, low weight loss and maintenance of a healthy skin for all cultivars stored in 9.4% CO2 with 3.6% O2 at 5°C for 25 weeks. When tubers from this treatment were stored for a further 20 weeks in air at 5°C the skin remained healthy and they did not sprout. The fry colour of crisps made from these potatoes was darker than the industry standard but when they were reconditioned, tubers of cv. Saturna produced crisps of an acceptable fry colour while crisps from the other two cultivars remained too dark. Reducing sugar levels were related to fry colour both after storage and after reconditioning. The other gas combinations and the controls did not have the same effect on sprouting and none of the controlled atmosphere treatments controlled sprouting at 10°C.  相似文献

Summary After three weeks curing at 10°C, potato tubers cv. Record were stored at 4°C under different controlled atmospheres (CA) for six months to study the effect on crisp fry colour, sprout growth and rotting. Combinations of low levels of CO2 (0.7–1.8%) and low levels of O2 (2.1–3.9%) gave a significantly lighter crisp colour, low sprout growth and fewer rotted tubers compared with 0.9% CO2 and 21.0% O2. Tubers stored in these conditions. showed a significantly higher weight loss and shrinkage after reconditioning. High CO2: low O2 combinations during storage completely inhibited sprout growth and caused the darkest crisp colour, but after reconditioning tubers gave the same level of sprouting and crisps as light as the other CA combinations. Furthermore these combinations, especially CO2 at 10 or 15%, increased the onset of rotting. Also our results showed that at low concentrations of CO2 (0.7–1.6%), and low O2 (2–2.4%) there was an increase in tuber rotting.  相似文献

Summary MatureKing Edward potatoes were wounded, inoculated withErwinia carotovora var.atroseptica and stored at +10°C and 100% r.h. in controlled concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide for up to 18 days. After incubation in air or in 5% O2 in N2 rots were brown, dry and restricted; more extensive, soft spreading rots were produced in potatoes stored in 5% O2+16% CO2, in 1% O2+20% CO2, in 1% O2 and in N2, the most extensive rots occurring in the anaerobic conditions. In addition toE. carotovora var.atroseptica, pectolytic clostridia could also be recovered from the spreading rots. The experiments demonstrate the extent to which the concentration of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the environment may effect the sensitivity of tubers to bacterial attack.  相似文献

Kennebec seed potatoes were stored in various atmospheres of O2 and CO2 at 32 and 41 F (0 and 5 C). Samples were removed every 6 weeks for measurement of bud and parenchyma tissue respiration, rate of ion loss from tissue sections and reducing sugar content. Potatoes remaining at the end of the storage period were warmed, cut and planted immediately in a randomized complete block design for yield evaluation. Intact tuber respiratory rates were higher at 32 F than 41 F. Increasing CO2 increased respiratory rates and decreasing O2 decreased respiratory rates at both temperatures. Decreasing O2 concentration significantly decreased reducing sugar at both 32 and 41 F. Increasing CO2 significantly increased reducing sugar at 41 F but not at 32 F. Kennebec potatoes did not tolerate added CO2 at 32 F but did survive 4% CO2 at 41 F. Reducing oxygen decreased the tolerance to CO2. The onset of carbon dioxide injury was not clearly evident from changes in bud and parenchyma tissue respiration or in loss of electrolytes from cut tissue sections. However, CO2 accelerated tuber breakdown by unidentifiedFusarium Spp. No significant differences in yield were observed between treatments that survived the storage period.  相似文献

Summary The influence of storage temperature (pre-storage, 3 °C, 7 °C, and 9 °C) and controlled atmospheric (CA) conditions (7 °C, 2% O2, 10% CO2) were evaluated relative to the physiology and mechanical failure properties of potato tubers (Solarium tuberosum L. cv. Shepody). Mechanical properties of the tuber tissue differed by storage treatment although the physical properties could be generally explained by the measured relative turgor of the tissue. Models typically ascribe lower tissue toughness to greater tissue turgor. In this study, prior to storage tubers exhibited characteristics of greater tissue toughness (20.3 MPa) in conjunction with high relative tissue turgor (as measured by shock wave speed, 115 m/s). It appears that tubers prior to storage have quantitatively stronger tissue compared to tubers after storage regardless of hydration level. CA storage altered tissue mechanical properties as well as carbohydrate content and had physiochemical characteristics of tubers stored at 3 °C;.

Summary We investigated the changes in the content of L-ascorbic acid (L-AA), glucose, fructose, surose and total glycoalkaloids (TGA) during storage of potatoes, cv. Bintje, for 12 weeks at 7,16 and 28°C. The initial amount of L-AA was 8.2 mg/100g fresh weight; after 12 weeks' storage at 7°C it had decreased, while at 16 and 28°C it had increased. The sugar content went up most in potatoes stored at 28°C, but remained below the level at which potatoes taste sweet. The sugar content rose slightly at 16°C, while it decreased in tubers stored at 7°C. The initial TGA content, in equivalent amounts of α-solanine, was 3.6 mg/100 g fresh weight; after 12 weeks' storage it had decreased slightly at all three storage temperatures.  相似文献

Internal blackspot bruising was produced in Russet Burbank tubers by dropping a 150 g weight 40 cm through a slotted guide tube and incubating the tubers for varying time periods at temperatures ranging from 10 to 80 C. When potatoes were bruised following 1 to 5 months storage, those tubers incubated at 10 C required 48 hr for maximum blackspot development. Increasing the incubation temperature accelerated blackspot formation with an optimum response at 36 to 40 C. At 40 C tubers reached maximum discoloration within 6 hr. Bruised tubers were also exposed to combinations of varied temperatures and varied gas pressures of 0.3 to 2.1 kg/cm2 using air, O2, CO2, and N2. Pressurized air slightly enhanced the temperature effect at 40 C; pressurized O2 had no significant effect upon blackspot development, while CO2 and N2 inhibited blackspot formation. Blackspot bruises incurred in the field during harvest required a longer incubation period at a lower temperature than did bruises inflicted on tubers held in storage for 1 to 5 months.  相似文献

Summary Mature potato tubers of the varietyMajestic were stored, at 1°C, in concentrations of oxygen from 0 to 100% for a period of one month. The contents of sucrose and reducing sugar and the CO2 production of the tubers were measured. Concentrations of oxygen of 3% and below delayed the accumulation of sugars in the tubers compared with that in air. In N2 the accumulation was prevented, while the CO2 production continued at a low rate. At oxygen concentrations above 3% the sucrose level rose to a maximum after three weeks and then slowly fell, while the reducing sugar content increased throughout. Under these conditions carbon dioxide production increased rapidly to a peak at about 7 days and then slowly fell to near the initial level.  相似文献

Indigenous non-refrigerated methods like heaps and pits are used in India for short-term storage of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) to avoid distress sale. Storing untreated potatoes generally results in high losses from sprouting, moisture loss and rotting. To reduce storage losses by inhibition of sprouting and to determine the suitability of stored potatoes for processing into crisps, a single spray application of a commercial formulation of 3-chlorophenyl carbamate (CIPC or chlorpropham) 50% a.i., (Oorja, United Phosphorus Limited, Mumbai, India) of CIPC (or chlorpropham) was tested on potatoes during storage from March to June under two traditional storage methods [heap (17–33 °C, 58–92% relative humidity (RH)) and pit (17–27 °C, 72–95% RH)] in 2 years [2005 up to 90 days of storage (DOS) and 2006 up to 105 DOS], using four cultivars and two rates of CIPC application (20 and 30 mg a.i. kg−1 tubers). The two rates of application were comparably effective in reducing weight losses, sprouting and sprout growth in stored tubers, and the effect was more pronounced in pit storage than in heap storage. By contrast to untreated tubers, CIPC-treated potatoes remained turgid under the two storage methods and fetched market prices comparable to those for cold-stored (2–4 °C) potatoes after 105 days of storage. Reducing sugar concentrations in treated potatoes decreased during storage especially in 2006 when the initial reducing sugar concentration was higher than in 2005. Crisp colour improved only in 2005 after 90 DOS, but it deteriorated in 2006 during storage up to 105 DOS. Sucrose concentration increased tremendously during storage in 2 years. Only one cultivar (Kufri Chipsona-1) with low initial reducing sugar concentration and less sucrose accumulation during storage could produce acceptable colour crisps after storage in both years. The remaining three cultivars—with high initial reducing sugar concentration—were suitable for processing after storage in heap and pit in 2005, but not in 2006. Stored potatoes were safe for human consumption as the CIPC residue concentrations were far below the permissible level of 10 mg kg−1 as prescribed by the European Union. Single spray application of CIPC (20 mg kg−1 treatment) can effectively reduce storage losses in potatoes stored in traditional non-refrigerated methods of heap and pit and extend the storage life by 90 to 105 days.  相似文献

Summary The sugar content of samples of potatoes, cv. Majestic, was varied by storage for 4 weeks at 2, 4.5, 6, 10 and 15.5°C, before irradiation with 10 krad. With initial sucrose contents of 0.14–0.37% FW (tubers from 4.5–15.5°C) the marked temporary increase in sucrose, as reported previously, was observed, reaching a maximum after 3–7 days before falling rapidly to a level rather higher than in non-irradiated tubers. Tubers from 2°C, with 1.4% sucrose, showed an immediate drop in this after irradiation, succeeded within 3 days by a rise to values not significantly different from the controls. Irradiation caused a significant increase in reducing sugar content, for a period of up to 7 days in sweetened tubers, but for 21 days or more in unsweetened tubers. Previous storage at the different temperatures had some permanent residual effect upon the sugar content of the controls during subsequent storage for up to 90 days at 10°C.  相似文献

When stored at temperatures below 10 °C, potatoes accumulate sucrose and the reducing sugars glucose and fructose. This process, cold-induced sweetening, has been studied extensively because potatoes with elevated reducing sugar contents produce undesirable, dark-colored products and acrylamide, a suspected carcinogen, during high-temperature cooking. Potatoes in commercial storages are cooled slowly, but many research studies have used potatoes cooled rapidly. In this study, effects of cooling rate and variety on chip color, sugars, and gene expression were examined. Sucrose and reducing sugar contents were substantially lower in slowly cooled than in rapidly cooled tubers of ‘Snowden’ and “MegaChip’ for the first 11 weeks after cooling to 3 °C began. Differences in gene expression for VInv, β-amylase, SPS, AGPase and GBSS were observed between cooling treatments and varieties. Overall, the data showed that cooling rate, time in storage, and variety influenced multiple aspects of cold-induced sweetening.  相似文献

Potato tubers held continuously 19 weeks at 32 F developed chillinginjury symptoms early during storage and the symptoms worsened with time in storage. Early symptoms included browning and surface mold on skinned areas. By 11 weeks mahogany browning, blackheart, and hollow heart, bluish skin discoloration and sinking of intact skin were visible in daylight. And under ultraviolet light, yellow fluorescence was visible in halos, washes, or spots around or near internal tuber tissues discolored by other chilling-injury symptoms. Some damage at 32 F became visible after subsequent holding of tubers for 1 week at 60 F. Tubers accumulated high amounts of reducing and total sugar at 32 F and respiration, measured at 60 F as CO2 evolved, was progressively stimulated by time at 32 F. Sugar build-up, respiration-rate increase, and chilling injury seemed to show no cause-and-effect relationship but appeared as separate phenomena each caused by the stress of holding tubers at too low a temperature. Moving potatoes to 60 F for 1 week after every 3rd week to interrupt storage at 32 practically eliminated all forms of chilling injury except skin browning and surface mold which were greatly reduced. Sugar content and respiration rates in tubers intermittently held at low and high temperatures were higher after periods in low temperature and lower after periods at 60 F, and in general were maintained at levels much lower than in potatoes held continuously at 32, 36, or 40 F. In all treatments sugar content was higher than desirable for chipping type potatoes. Holding potatoes at 60 F for 1 to 4 weeks before placing them at 32 F reduced skin browning and surface mold but had no effect on other forms of chilling injury, sugar accumulation, or respiration rates in tubers as measured after 15 to 19 weeks continuously at 32 F. Practically no chilling-injury symptom except for very little mold growth and browning of skinned areas developed in tubers held in 36 or 40 F.  相似文献

Summary Dormant tubers of the potato cv. Bintje were treated for 7 or 14 days in an atmosphere enriched to either 40% O2 plus 1% CO2, or 40% O2 plus 20% CO2, or they were stored in closed plastic bags for identical periods. Rindite-treated and untreated tubers served as references. Treatment with 40% O2 plus 20% CO2 for 7 days was nearly as efficient as rindite for inducing sprouting. Both the O2 plus CO2 treatments, for 7 and 14 days, considerably increased virus concentration in tubers and had an effect similar to that of rindite 40 days after treatment, but the plastic bag treatment was not as efficient. It is concluded that O2 plus CO2 enriched atmospheres could be used for breaking tuber dormancy in order to detect reliably PVY in tuber extracts.  相似文献

Russet Burbank potatoes that had been stored at 40°F. for 5 months after harvest were irradiated with 5,200 and 14,000 rad of Co60 gamma rays. In general, irradiation caused an accumulation of sugars. At 40°F., the sucrose level rose to nearly 3 times that of the control in 16 days following irradiation. Fructose and glucose showed smaller increases and the latter did not accumulate significantly in the tubers given the higher dose of gamma rays. At 70°F., the levels of sucrose and glucose in the irradiated tubers rose above those in the controls, the difference reaching a maximum in 4 days and then declining. Irradiation had no effect on loss of fructose at this temperature. Color of potato chips processed from the irradiated potatoes was in general darker than that of chips from control tubers. The storage-time pattern of color change resembled that of the reducing rather than total sugar. Fourteen thousand rad did not prevent initiation of germination in the tubers but did destroy their sprout-growth apparatus. Although the lower dosage did not prevent initiation and subsequent growth, it prevented the formation of secondary tubers, which appeared on the sprouted control tubers. Furthermore, unlike the controls, the low-dosage potatoes developed branching hair sprouts with no tendency toward apical dominance during the early stages of sprouting. The rate of greening of gamma-irradiated and illuminated tubers was significantly less than that of unirradiated illuminated controls. Evidence is presented that irradiation may increase the susceptibility of potatoes to attack by molds under some conditions.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Nach Inokulation mit abgestuften Bakteriendichten wurde über eine Vitalf?rbung von Knollengewebe der Schwellenwert zur F?uleausl?sung bestimmt. Seine Erh?hung nach 24 h Wundheilung charakterisiert die Effizienz der biochemischen F?uleabwehr. Die Abwehrreaktionen des Knollengewebes und der Prozess der F?uleausl?sung sind in unterschiedlichem Masse von der Temperatur, der Feuchtigkeit und dem O2- sowie dem CO2-Gehalt der Atmosph?re abh?ngig.
Summary The inoculum densities (effective dose) ofErwinia carotovora sub sp.atroseptica (Eca) needed to initiate infection of tuber tissue before and after a 24 h wound-healing period, was determined using a vital stain. The effects of various treatments on the efficiency of the defence reaction associated with wound healing, and on rot initiation were manifested as changes in the effective dose. The defence reaction was inhibited by temperatures <10°C, reduced O2 levels ≤5%, and CO2 proportions ≥20% (Fig. 3a and 4a). Moisture loss in stored tubers increased their defence reaction compared to that of freshly harvested ones (Table 1). The effect of these factors on Eca development was identical to that which occurs in potato production where tuber wounds are generally contaminated with Eca. Rot initiation was best prevented by removal of water (Table 1), storage at 15°C, avoidance of reduced O2 levels <10% and CO2 accumulation (Fig. 3b and 4b).

Summary Reducing sugar content, and activities of three starch hydrolysing enzymes, alpha-amylase, beta-amylase and debranching enzyme were measured over several months in tubers of five cultivars stored at 4°C or 10°C. Cultivars differed in their sensitivity to storage temperature. Reducing sugar content of tubers and the activities of three starch hydrolysing enzymes increased sharply during the first weeks of storage at 4°C. At 10°C, reducing sugar content, and the activity of the three enzymes remained constant or increased only slightly. Deceased.  相似文献

Degradation of harvested tubers due to water loss, sprouting, and disease can cause severe economic difficulties in the cultivation of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum). This study evaluated the storage losses of new varieties of potato and determined the sprouting dates of potatoes stored at different temperatures. Additionally, this study evaluated the influence of weather conditions during the vegetative growth period on the date of sprouting in storage. After storage at three different temperatures (3, 5, and 8 °C), we estimated natural losses and losses caused by sprouting or the development of disease. The potato varieties stored at 3 °C, and 5 °C had similar weight losses (8.8% and 9.3%, respectively), but the potatoes stored at 8 °C had higher losses (10.8%). The average potato losses caused by disease ranged from 0.6% to 10%. The onset of sprouting of potatoes stored at 8 °C depended on the variety and began in the 20 day of December. Storage at 5 °C delayed sprouting by about 50 days compared with storage at 8 °C. Weather conditions (hot and rainy) during vegetative growth of the plants also influenced sprouting date, natural losses, and the amount of disease during storage. Our data showed a significant correlation between the hydrothermal coefficient during the vegetative period and the date of sprouting of potatoes during storage.  相似文献

The objectives of this study were to evaluate effects of ambient and double ambient [CO2] at a range of growing temperatures on photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration, water-use efficiency and dry matter accumulation of cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L., cv. DPL 50). In Experiment I, plants were grown outdoors until first bloom, then transferred into naturally lit growth chambers and grown for 22 days at 30/18°C with five CO2 concentrations varying from 350 to 900 μl l−1. In Experiment II, air temperatures were maintained at 20/12, 25/17, 30/22, and 35/27°C day/night during a 70-day experimental period with [CO2] of 350 and 700 μl l−1 at each temperature. Photosynthesis increased with [CO2] from 350 to 700 μl l−1 and with temperature. Plants grown at 35/27°C produced fewer bolls due to abscission compared with plants grown at optimum temperatures (30/20°C). At higher [CO2], water-use efficiency increased at all temperatures due mainly to increased canopy photosynthesis but also to more limited extent to reduced canopy transpiration. Increased photosynthesis at higher [CO2] resulted in greater dry matter accumulation at all temperatures except at 20/12°C. Respiration increased as dry matter and temperature increased. Plants grown at higher [CO2] had less respiration per unit dry matter but more per unit area. These results indicate that future increases in [CO2] are likely to benefit cotton production by increasing carbon assimilation under temperatures favorable for cotton growth. Reduced fruit weights at higher temperatures indicate potential negative effects on production if air temperatures increase as projected in a high-CO2 world.  相似文献

Three potato cultivars (Russet Burbank, Norchip, and Gemchip) grown with nitrogen applied at three rates were stored at two temperature regimes (Treatment 1: 13 months at 10 CTreatment 2: 1 month at 10 C; followed by a 1 C decrease per week until tubers were 4 C; followed by 6 months at 4 C; followed by a 1 C increase per week until tubers were 10 C; followed by 3 months at 10 C). Tuber chemical components and potato chip appearance were measured at harvest and after 3, 6, 9, 11, 12, and 13 months; these measurements were performed within 24 hours of the time potatoes were removed from storage. Sugar responses (tuber glucose, fructose, sucrose) and potato chip appearance were affected by cultivar over time in both years and storage temperatures. Russet Burbank tubers displayed a significantly higher glucose forming potential and produced darker appearing chips, regardless of storage temperature or time in storage, compared to Norchip and Gemchip. Potatoes receiving a cold-storage treatment contained less sugar and produced lighter appearing chips after 12 months storage compared to tubers stored at a constant 10 C for 12 months. The linear association between tuber chemical components and potato chip appearance varied with storage temperature.  相似文献

Russet Burbank and WC230-14 potato tubers were stored at 0 C (32 F) and 5 C (41 F) in air, air plus 4% CO2 and air plus 8% CO2 for a 175 day storage period. Four times during this period, tubers were removed and inoculated withErwinia carotovora var.atroseptica (van Hall) Dye orFusarium roseum var.sambucinum (L. K.) Sn. and H. and stored at 17 C (62.6 F). Tuber samples were also reconditioned for two weeks at 17C(62.6 F) and then inoculated. Tubers were evaluated for rate of membrane permeability, free glucose, free fructose, and sucrose content and the rate of tuber decay by the two pathogens. Relative to 5 C (41 F), 0 C (32 F) storage increased sugar content, membrane permeability and the rate of tuber breakdown. Increasing CO2 during storage at 0 C (32 F) and 5 C (41 F) increased each of the above parameters. Reconditioning tended to alleviate the adverse effects of 0 C (32 F) storage and increasing CO2 levels, but varietal differences existed. A significant and high correlation was obtained between the rate ofErwinia decay, membrane permeability, and sucrose content of the tubers.  相似文献
