Sweet potato (Ipomea batatas L.) is a highly perishable crop with limited storage techniques. Some endogenous spoilage enzymes and antioxidant biomolecules in the treated tubers were employed to assess the effectiveness of treating the tuber with calcium chloride dip, bemul-wax and combinations of the two at 2 weeks interval for improving its qualities during 10 weeks low-temperature (10°-15...
