About Storing Pelied Potatoes in Different Types of Vacuum Packaging

Abstract

The article presents the results of research to ensure the safety of peeled potatoes in various types of vacuum packaging stored under controlled conditions of a laboratory stand. It was found that at a temperature of 4 ± 1 °C and a relative humidity of 85 - 95%, samples of peeled potatoes in the considered storage range retained their quality in packaging samples: No. 3 (biaxially oriented polypropylene film) and No. 9 (a prototype of biodegradable film on based on polylactic acid). In other types of packaging, the peeled potatoes were excessively moist with rotted spots or excessively dry surfaces.
