Summary

Storage of jicama roots at 10 °C resulted in characteristic chill-induced changes in pulp colour and texture after 7-14 days. Discoloration or browning of the pulp occurred first in exterior pulp tissue and then progressed to the interior tissue. Changes in texture during storage were similar in exterior and interior pulp tissues. Chill-induced colour changes generally occurred before changes in textures.
