木薯块根采后腐烂及贮藏方法研究进展

Review on Postharvest Deterioration and Methods of Storage for Cassava Tuberous Root

木薯是非洲和部分南美洲国家的主要食物能量来源,用途广泛。由于其采后迅速发生腐烂质变而极大影响了木薯块根进一步推广运用。随着木薯生物技术研究发展,块根采后生理变化的研究不断地获得重大突破,笔者从不同角度阐述了块根采后腐烂的机理及采后贮藏方法,总结木薯块根采后腐烂的主要原因,并提出解决这一问题关键在于研发快速、有效的处理技术,包括短波紫外线处理技术。

Cassava is one of the third potatoes. It supports the energy food for some people in African and South American for its extensive use. The constrain of rapidly deterioration after harvest （in 2 to 3 days） blocks the utilization for cassava tuberous root. In recent years, biotechnology has been utilized in post physiological aspect study and many breakthroughs have been made. The mechanism of deterioration in cassava tuberous root and storage methods including shortwave UV-B radiation were reviewed.
