<br/><br/> This investigation was car-  ried out to study the chemical and  technological changes of sugar  beet roots during storage in open air after different chemical treat-  ments(calciumhydroxide, sodium metabisulfite and sulfur dioxide).  Samples of sugar beet roots were  taken from the research fields of Delta sugar company, Kafr EL- sheikh Governorate, Egypt during  2010 harvest season. The results  revealed that the roots treated  with Na2S205 recorded the high-  est values of roots quality, and  sucrose recovery.
