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.
