    General Tips for Sweet Potatoes

    Storage temperatureRelative Humidity (RH)DurationPre-coolingSensitivity to ethyleneEthylene ProductionControlled Atmosphere
    Storage temperature: 13° - 14° C
    Relative Humidity (RH): 90%-95%
    Duration: 6-10 months
    Pre-cooling: Not required
    Sensitivity to ethylene: Medium
    Ethylene Production: Very low
    Controlled Atmosphere: Not recommended

    Dynamic Cooling: Ensures precise and uniform temperature and humidity regulation through continuous multi-point monitoring across the entire cold room volume, maintaining ideal conditions 24/7. Dynamic Cooling extends storage life by 15–20% compared to standard storage conditions.

    CO₂ Management: Requires specialized study and installation of dedicated systems to control CO₂ concentration produced by respiration.

    Ventilation: Properly designed and digitally controlled ventilation is essential for removing respiration gases and maintaining stable conditions throughout the chamber.
    IMPORTANT TIPS
    • Dynamic Cooling is essential for long-term preservation of sweet potatoes.
    • Ensure proper ventilation and use ethylene absorbers where necessary.
    • Store away from ethylene-emitting products to prevent quality degradation.
    • Avoid temperatures below 10°C — sweet potatoes are highly susceptible to chilling injury. Symptoms include internal browning, decay, shrinkage, and overall loss of quality.
    • Manage CO₂ levels carefully: concentrations above 100,000 ppm negatively affect product quality.
    • Cure sweet potatoes before storage to promote cork formation on the skin and reduce postharvest damage.
    • Keep stored roots away from light exposure to prevent greening and surface damage.
