Abstract

Six advanced stage potato hybrids developed exclusively for processing were assessed for their chipping quality and some important processing related characteristics during storage at 10–12°C with CIPC treatment up to 180 days. Mean contents of reducing sugars and sucrose increased by 124 and 23.4% after 180 days of storage. Hybrid MP/97–583 (now released as Kufri Chipsona-3) was found to be the most-promising producing excellent colour quality chips throughout the period of storage.
