Summary

THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY AND REGULARITY OF RESPIRATION OF CUCUMBER, SNAP BEAN, SWEET PEPPER AND GARLIC SPROUT WERE STUDIED. CUCUMBER STORED AT TEMPERATURES SUSCEPTIBLE TO CHILLING INJURY 273-284 K (0-11 DEG C), CAUSED THE CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY TO INCREASE WITH PROLONGED EXPOSURE TIMES. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE ROSE TO 293 K (20 DEG C), THE RESPIRATION RATES OF CUCUMBER, SNAP BEAN AND SWEET PEPPER STORED AT UNFAVOURABLE CHILLING TEMPERATURES INCREASED ABNORMALLY. IT IS POSSIBLE TO PREDICT CHILLING INJURY OF VEGETABLES BY OBSERVING CHANGES OF RATES OF CELL MEMBRANE PERMEABILITY AND RESPIRATION.
