Abstract: The selection of browning control inhibitors combination for fresh-cut sweet potatoes was studied and its effectson PPO activity and browning degree(BD) of fresh-cut sweet potatoes during storage period was investigated. The resultsshowed that the most effective inhibitor combination for controlling the browning of fresh-cut sweet potatoes based onorthogonal experiment was 0.20%L-Cys+0.30% CA+0.15%EDTA-2Na+0.30%NaCl, and the inhibiting order of the four factorswas L-Cys>CA>EDTA-2Na>NaCl. The selected combination could inhibit PPO activity significantly and delay thebrowning of fresh-cut sweet potatoes.

Key words: fresh-cut sweet potatoes, selection, combination of browning inhibitors
