Results of consumer surveys in Greenland concerning advantages and disadvantages of potatoes sprout-inhibited with γ-rays or with the chemical Fusarex (1, 2,4, 5-tetrachloro-3-nitrobenzene) are reported.nThe aim was, first, to ask for consumers' opinion on how the irra¬diated potatoes stand the special, difficult conditions of storage and trans¬port in Greenland as compared with potatoes treated with Fusarex, and sec¬ondly to elucidate the culinary value of potatoes thus treated, throughout the storage period. The answers were given as judgements of the outer and in-ner appearance, the sprouting, the amount of rotted potatoes, and the taste.
