Potatoes — Guidelines for storage in artificially ventilated stores

Scope

This International Standard establishes guidelines for the storage of potatoes, intended for use as seed potatoes, for consumption, or for processing, in artificially ventilated stores. The application of these guidelines will permit preservation of the growth potential and productivity of seed potatoes and of the good cooking quality (e.g. characteristic flavor, lack of discoloration and light color of fried products) of potatoes for consumption. These guidelines are applicable only in regions with temperate climates.
