The effect of packaging materials on nitrate nitrogen content of irradiated potatoes was investigated. Tubers were irradiated at 10, 30 and 100 Krads and stored for 12 wk at 5°C in paper or plastic bags. Nitrate nitrogen content was significantly (p < 0.01) higher in tubers packaged in plastic as compared to those in paper bags. Irradiation significantly (p < 0.01) increased nitrate nitrogen content between the lowest and highest levels of treatment in tubers stored in both paper and plastic bags.
