Pre-storage applications are of considerable
importance in reducing chemical and physiological changes occurring in potato
tubers during prolonged storage. The objective of this study is to determine
the effect of increasing doses of pre-storage applied calcium on physical and
chemical properties of potato tubers. The experiment was carried out in a
completely randomized design with three replications at cold storage with +4 °C temperature
and 85-90% moisture. The potato tubers were soaked in three calcium solutions
(5%, 10% and 15%) for one hour, along with the control (pure water). The
calcium pretreatments showed significant ameliorative effects on all physical
and chemical attributes of four months stored potato tubers. With calcium
application, sprouting tuber rate and shooting length decreased by 15% and 42%
as compared to the control, respectively. The pre-storage applications of
calcium significantly reduced the losses occurring in total phenolic content
and antioxidant activity during storage. In conclusion, the present study
suggested that pre-storage calcium applications could reduce storage losses
occurring in potato tubers.
