Sweet potatoes roots have become the focus of research in the past recent years due to their unique nutritional and functional properties. Under Brazilian climate conditions, sweet potato cultivar BRS Rubissol has high yield on average 40 tonnes per hectare and presents excellent quality for industrial processing; however, when the roots are stored at room temperature, the shelf life is over in two to four weeks due to the sprouting and weight loss (withered). Ethylene and its inhibitors 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and amino-oxyacetic acid (AOA) can act in controling tuberous roots sprouting stored at room temperature, contribute to the sweet potato production chain for industrial processing.
