Prevention of browning of prepeeled potato.

Summary

Prevention of browning by various chemicals and their combinations, such as citric acid, ascorbic acid, calcium chloride, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate etc. was systematically studied. The effects of concentration, handling time, storage time before peeling and potato variety (Van Gogh, Bintje and Nicola) on browning and its prevention were determined. Browning was measured by the so-called browning index, based on sensory evaluation.
