Controlling post storage greening in table stock potatoes with ethoxylated mono- and diglyceride surfactants and an adjuvant

1978 
Greening was prevented in Kennebec tubers by the application of either Aldosperse MS-20, or Starfol D, to tuber surfaces upon removal from storage at 3.3 or 5.0 C. The action of these food grade surfactants, applied as aqueous emulsions, was related to the development of high Pco2 in the peel. The greening inhibiting action of the surfactants was improved by the addition of citric acid to the emulsions.
