Relevance. Jerusalem artichoke is a culture that has recently received a lot of attention. It is used to prepare highly effective medicines, fruit and vegetable drinks and purees, and is also used in cooking. The issue of preserving Jerusalem artichoke tubers as a raw material source, a promising direction in the technology of functional products. The purpose of the research is to determine the influence of temperature storage regimes on the preservation of consumer qualities of Jerusalem artichoke tubers.Materials and methods. The object of research is Jerusalem artichoke tubers (Helianthus tuberosus L.). Plants were grown in the Perm region of the Perm kray. Tubers before being stored were sorted, washed, dried and placed in polymer bags. The test samples were stored at three temperature regime: -22…-18°C, 0…4 and 18…22°C for 3 months. Samples were taken every 30 days. The quality was assessed by organoleptic parameters, dry matter content, total sugar, inulin and vitamin C. Construction of models for predicting the quality indicators of Jerusalem artichoke was carried out on the basis of structural relationships with storage conditions, which were established using two approaches: correlation and information-logical.Results. Organoleptic parameters of tubers of the studied samples met the requirements of GOST 32790-2014. The mass fraction of total sugar and vitamin C at 18…22°C decreased relative to the initial content by 10.8 and 57.8%. Storage of tubers is accompanied by a decrease in inulin, and after three months, its mass fraction was lower than the original by 61.9 %. Using correlation analysis, linear structural relationships between quality indicators and storage conditions were established, according to which the content of carbohydrates and vitamin C primarily depends on the temperature regime (r=-0.8-0.4), and secondly – on the storage conditions term (r =-0,3-0,3). The use of the information-logical method allowed us to confirm the established correlation relations. The obtained adequate models for predicting the level of quality characteristics of tubers, depending on the storage period and temperature regime, allow you if necessary to quickly change the storage conditions. The analysis made it possible to identify the optimal term and temperature regime of storage of tubers.
