摘要:
A method of storing potatoes, the method comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of endodormant or ecodormant potatoes; in a first storage step storing the potatoes in a first gaseous environment including carbon dioxide in an amount of from greater than the amount of carbon dioxide present in atmospheric air to up to 5 mol % based on the composition of the first gaseous environment; and in a second subsequent storage step storing the potatoes in a second gaseous environment including carbon dioxide in an amount of from 0.03 to 2 mol % based on the composition of the second gaseous environment, the first and second gaseous environments having different carbon dioxide contents. There is also disclosed a method of storing potatoes, the method comprising the steps of; providing a plurality of endodormant or ecodormant potatoes; in a first storage step storing the plurality of potatoes in a first gaseous environment including carbon dioxide; monitoring the dormancy of the potatoes; in response to eye movement of at least one of the potatoes, changing the first gaseous environment to a second gaseous environment including carbon dioxide; and in a second storage step storing the plurality of potatoes in the second gaseous environment and maintaining a level of carbon dioxide in the second gaseous environment below a selected threshold to control the sugar content of the potatoes.La présente invention concerne un procédé de stockage de pommes de terre. Selon l'invention, le procédé fait appel aux étapes consistant : en la fourniture d'une pluralité de pommes de terre endodormantes ou écodormantes ; en une première phase de stockage permettant de stocker les pommes de terre dans un premier environnement gazeux comprenant du dioxyde de carbone dans une quantité allant d'une valeur supérieure à la valeur de dioxyde de carbone présent dans l'air atmosphérique jusqu'à 5 mol % sur la base de la composition du premier environnement gazeux ; et en une seconde phase de stock
