RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DAMAGE INDEX AND HEIGHT LOSS OF POTATOES DURING STORAGE

The effect of mechanical injury of potatoes as expressed by the damage index on weight loss during storage was investigated during a three-year study. The damage index is an internationally accepted categorization of the magnitude of injury inflicted on potatoes during harvesting and handling. Weigh...

Zusammenfassung:The effect of mechanical injury of potatoes as expressed by the damage index on weight loss during storage was investigated during a three-year study. The damage index is an internationally accepted categorization of the magnitude of injury inflicted on potatoes during harvesting and handling. Weight loss from potatoes in storage was found to be significantly correlated to the damage index. Damage free potatoes had significantly less weight loss than those with injury.
