Abstract

This study investigates the effect of X-rays on potato tubers to stop their sprouting at different periods of storage. It has been found that there is a connection between the period of storage and the dose of irradiation. To control the quality of the irradiated tubers, the concentration of reducing sugars was measured during the entire experiment and compared to the parameters of non-irradiated potato tubers.
