Abstract

Plant parts, particularly potatoes, are packed in enclosures such as plastic bags designed so that the respiration of the plant parts generates a stable modified atmosphere which enhances the storage lifetime. Nylon film allows the escape of water vapour. Limited communication with the atmosphere, e.g. using non-gastight seals and/or micropores, enables oxygen levels to reach a dynamic equilibrium. In potatoes, oxygen level are desirably 2-14%, more preferably 3-8% by volume. This suppresses greening and sprouting. Excessively low oxygen levels can allow anaerobic organisms and processes, leading to spoilage.
