The objective of this study was to identify advanced public potato breeding lines that maintain quality chip and fry processing after prolonged storage at contrasting storage temperatures. Considerable cost savings could be achieved at reduced temperature storage (" 45°F) due to decreased shrinkage, lower incidence of disease pressure, and decreased need for sprout inhibition. However, prolonged cold storage at temperatures below 45°F often cause enhanced sugar accumulation, resulting in off colorproduct formation. This cold sweetening poses a challenge to growers and processors.
