Abstract

Oregon-grown Russet Burbank late-crop potatoes from 16 randomly selected farms were divided into six specific gravity classes and stored at 40 F and 85% rh for 6 months. Specific gravity and weight changes were determined monthly on these tubers and organoleptic tests were made at the close of the storage period by an experienced judging panel. Matching sets of tubers in three specific gravity classes, 1.1095, 1.105 and 1.110, were judged for mealiness at harvest and after 1, 2, 4 and 6 months.
