The present disclosure is directed to the prevention of spoilage of agricultural products (e.g., tuberous roots such as cassava roots). The disclosure teaches the use of a sulfur-donating compound (e.g., a thiosulfate salt such as sodium thiosulfate) to enable the agricultural product to scavenge endogenously-produced HCN, prevent the buildup of reactive oxygen species, prevent the buildup of insoluble byproducts, and/or prevent the loss of starch from the agricultural product. 本公开涉及防止农产品(例如块根，例如木薯根)腐败。本公开教导了使用供硫化合物(例如硫代硫酸盐，例如硫代硫酸钠)以使所述农产品能够清除内源产生的HCN，防止活性氧的积累，防止不溶性副产物的积累，和/或防止所述农产品中淀粉的损失。
