Summary

Tuberous roots of yacon (Polymnia sonchifolia) were stored at indifferent temperature and relative humidity conditions after curing for 30 days. Non-decadent percentage, moisture contents, brix degree and sugars were investigated. Whether temperature and relative humidity were high or not, most of the tuberous roots decayed during storage, and the decayed percentage increased as the storage period increased. After 6 months of storage, the only condition in which tubers remained intact (13%) was 4 °C, 85% relative humidity.
