Investigation of Sugar Beet Long-Term Storage in the Silo and the Effect of Chemicals on Quality Parameters During Storage

Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

Considering the economic importance of preserving the desired characteristics of sugar beet in silage, it seems necessary to use appropriate methods to keep better this product in storage. This study was done in 2 different stages to show the environmental effect on sugar beet storage and the result of using 2 chemicals on keeping quality attributes of sugar beet. In the first phase of this study, the effects of temperatures 4, 12 and 24 degrees Celsius during 15, 30 and 45 days of storage on sugar content, respiration rate, and weight loss, and in the second phase, using chemical treatments with different levels of calcium Chloride (2, 4 and 6%) and milk of lime (5, 10 and 15%) on sugar content (%), percentage of loss weight and total number of mold and yeast were investigated. The result shows that the effect of calcium chloride and milk of lime on keeping and improve the quality of sugar beet was effective.
