Résumé

Losses of potatoes in cold storage occur in all potato-producing countries and are caused, in part, by excessive high temperatures during storage, which increase rotting, decay and loss of edible quality and nutritive values. In some cases, freezing or chilling injury may be involved. Other serious losses are caused by mechanical injury from careless or rough handling and by shrinkage or wilting because of moisture loss. Diseases and pests, which develop during favourable conditions in cold storage, may cause rotting, decay, poor germination and deformation. Losses of potatoes in cold storage depend on several factors, the most important being temperature, humidity, ventilation and the condition of potatoes stored. More efficient and appropriate storage arrangements for potatoes this reduce losses. This review critically appraises the types of losses of potatoes in cold storage along with causes and prevention.
