Abstract: Potato is the vegetable crop and can be used for preparing various food products like chips, cubes, flour, slices, french fries, granules, powder etc. India having tropical climatic conditions the packaging and storage of above processed products for longer period is posing a big problem. An investigation was carried out to study the effect of different packaging and anti-browning chemical pre-treatments on storability of potato products. Results indicated that potato slices and cubes pre-treated with citric acid 0.10% + KMS 0.5% and packed in 300 gauge polyethylene bag had longer storability and good organoleptic qualities followed by the products of same pre-treatment packed in 200 gauge polyethylene bags.
