Abstract

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) historically has been an important source of food in the world. In order for potatoes to be used throughout the year, it is necessary to preserve their physical and chemical properties by processing them. Potato processing includes drying, cleaning, sorting and processing into finished products. After the potato harvest, they are cleaned of soil and impurities, healthy and well-cleaned potato goes to the storage. Potatoes are stored in temporary and permanent warehouses at the optimal storage temperature. By maintaining optimal consditions in the warehouses, which include monitoring of temperature, humidity and air composition, losses are reduced to the smallest possible extent (about 3.7%), and the potato maintain a satisfactory quality. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to determine and provide an overview of the most favorable way of processing and storing potatoes.
