METHOD FOR POTATO SPROUT CONTROL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/129402
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A method for potato sprout control, comprising: (A) after storing potatoes for 3-12 months at a temperature of 2-15°C in an atmosphere with an ethylene concentration of 1-100 ppm, washing the potatoes with water to remove the soil and dirt therefrom, draining the potatoes and, if necessary, drying the same; (B) putting the potatoes in a distribution container, which is a polyolefin bag with small pores, together with an ethylene-generating pack showing an ethylene generation rate of 0.5-5 mL/(g·day) at 20°C in a 100% RH atmosphere, followed by air-tightly sealing the container; and (C) maintaining the ethylene concentration in the distribution container, which contains the potatoes in the air-tightly sealed state, at 1-100 ppm for 1-20 days at a temperature of 2-30°C. According to this method, potato sprout can be effectively controlled during the process of distribution and supply to consumers, after harvesting and storage.
