Summary
Laboratory experiments demonstrated that steam treatments substantially reduced decay of stored organically grown carrots. Prior to being packaged, winter carrots were exposed to 3 seconds of steam. After 60 days of storage at 0.5 °C plus an additional week at shelf conditions (20 °C), 2% of the carrots were decayed, compared with 23% in the nontreated control.
