Determiningcarrot preservation depending on the root quality and size, as well as on storage techniques

This study aimsto scientifically substantiate the influence of quality, size carrot roots, as well storage techniques, on safety that couldprolong their consumption. The research into roots has not been developed properly. In this regard, it is important to conduct comprehensive studies objective indicators exert greatest impact intensity natural weight loss and preservation. reported here aimed roots,as safety, which could allow them be consumed longer. It theoretically substantiated experimentally confirmed longest period 206 days with a commercial yield 89.27 %characterized large root crops. output marketable products medium crops was 86.56 %, small ones after 161 ‒ 80.30 %. Compared crops, shelf life both mechanically damaged carrots decreased by 46 days, 9.0 11.1 respectively. Carrot pests were preserved almost same chopped ones. On average, over 191–192 storage, amounted 83.43 83.90 shortest (142) worst preservation (68.34 %)were observed in torn peel, due number diseased (18.53 defective (6.85 %). Storage boxes at permanent facility forced-air exhaust ventilation turned out ineffective. 85.5 highest 96.3–94.3 % when stored plastic bags perforated bags, A greater provided capacity 5 kg. found cardboard paper contributed development microorganisms. affected ranged from 2.4 2.8
