Study finds no statistical difference in fry colour between DMN and Restrain’s InhibitR™ technology

Fry colour remains one of the most persistent and costly quality challenges for potato growers and processors. Factors such as temperature fluctuations, CO₂ accumulation, treatment performance, and overall store management can significantly impact final product colour. As the sector continues to rely on a range of sprout-control options including oils, DMN, and ethylene, ensuring consistent storage performance is a priority.

To advance storage performance for growers, Restrain® commissions independent, third-party research that provides insights for both industry practice and the development of its technology.

A new study conducted by the Chamber of Agriculture has found no statistical difference in fry colour between potatoes stored using DMN and those treated with Restrain’s InhibitR™ Technology.
