In Algeria, potatoes ranks second among the twenty main food crops. It's characterized by periods of overproduction corresponding to seasonal crops. Except these periods, supply tends to fall. In order for the availability of potatoes to be constant throughout the non-harvest periods, it is imperative to store the surplus production to ensure a constant supply during periods of unavailability of a new harvest. The storage of the potato must maintain a satisfactory quality and minimize losses and the postharvest development of bacteria and fungi. This work aims to identify and follow the evolution of pectinolytic Erwinia and Erwinia soft rot during storage at 4 and 10° C of two varieties of potato grown in Algeria, i.e. Spunta and Désirée. The results indicated the presence of three species of Erwinia: E. carotovora subsp. carotovora, E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica and E. chrysanthemi. Initially, for both varieties, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora predominates followed by E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica and finally E. chrysanthemi. During storage, the three species evolve almost in the same way and their multiplication is more important at 10° C than at 4° C, particularly on the Spunta. About the total bacteria, the highest levels are recorded on Spunta, especially at 10° C. In addition, the Erwinia spp. / total bacteria ratio showed that Erwinia spp. are very most abundant compared to the total bacteria. The assessment of soft rot losses has also shown that they are greater in the Spunta variety whether at 4 or 10° C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
