Abstract
Abstract The cold-temperature-induced starch breakdown which occurs in stored tubers of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) was investigated using scanning electron microscopy and image analysis. Corrosion was superficial in nature, with the development of grooves, furrows, and circular depressions. Concentric rings and a surface peeling were observed. Area size distribution measurements found no significant relationship between size, storage temperature or storage duration, suggesting a simultaneous, nonspecific size breakdown of granules.
