PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a preservation method for fruits and vegetables susceptible to a low-temperature damage that enables the low-temperature preservation over a long period of time, and, by extension, enables a long-distance transportation of fruits and vegetables susceptible to a low-temperature damage at low cost while avoiding a low-temperature damage during the preservation.SOLUTION: There is provided a low-temperature preservation method for fruits and vegetables susceptible to a low-temperature damage, in which fruits and vegetables susceptible to a low-temperature damage including tuberous roots such as sweet potatoes, which are susceptible to a damage at a temperature of 10°C or lower, are preserved at a temperature of 0-10°C together with a carbon dioxide absorbent in a state that they are hermetically stored in a container or a packing material having airtightness such as polyethylene film, biaxial drawing polypropylene film, biaxial drawing polystyrene film, and a foamed polystyrene container.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】保存中の低温障害を回避しつつ、長期間にわたり低温での保存を可能にし、ひいては低温障害性青果物の低コストでの長距離輸送を可能にする低温障害性青果物の保存方法を提供する。【解決手段】１０℃以下の温度で傷害を受ける、サツマイモ等の塊根類を始めとする低温障害性青果物を、炭酸ガス吸収剤と共に、ポリエチレンフィルム、二軸延伸ポリプロピレンフィルム及び二軸延伸ポリスチレンフィルムや、発泡ポリスチレン容器等の気密性を有する容器又は包装材の内部に密封した状態で、０℃以上１０℃以下の温度で保存する低温障害性青果物の低温保存方法。【選択図】図１
