Abstract 1,242,412. Potato storage. BRITISH OXYGEN CO. Ltd. 2 April, 1969 [9 April, 1968], No. 16959/68. Heading A2D. Potatoes are stored in a storage zone in an atmosphere having an oxygen concentration of less than 4 per cent by volume, a carbon dioxide concentration of less than 1 per cent by volume and a relative humidity greater than 80 per cent at a temperature between 32 and 50‹ F. The initial atmosphere in the zone may be provided by admitting an inert gas, such as nitrogen, into the zone until the required oxygen concentration is achieved. A material capable of absorbing carbon dioxide may be located in or associated with the storage zone.
