Résumé

This study was conducted to determine if chicory roots (Cichorium intybus var. foliosum) can be stored at temperatures below -1 °C. Measuring the electrical resistance of root tissue can be used to predict frost damage. The most distinct frost damage symptoms were 'water soaking' and browning of the vascular bundles. According to these results, it can be concluded that storage temperatures below -1 °C, but above -7 °C, are not necessarily fatal for chicory roots: roots with relatively high dry weight percentage are best able to withstand low storage temperatures.
