OSTI ID:4289260
Results are presented from an investigation of the influence of irradiation on the storage quality of vegetables and fruits. Irradiation with 5000 r gamma radiation and storage at low temperatures prevented sprouting completely for one year in three varieties of potatoes. Reduced respiration intensity was found in all series of irradiated potatoes. Results are compared with those obtained by treatment with Fusarex, a growth inhibitor. Sprouting and growth were satisfactorily prevented in carrots and other root crops by exposure to 5000 to 15000 r gamma radiation. The storage life of bananas and apples was improved if they were irradiated in a pre-ripened stage. (C.H.)
