Summary

The effect of different dip treatments and storage period on the antioxidant activity and biochemical quality of Indian cabbage for minimal processing was studied. A gradual decrease in total antioxidant activity was observed during storage at 6 °C with no detectable activity at the end of 9 days in all the dip treatments, except in treatments containing combinations of ascorbic acid and citric acid, and ascorbic acid alone (10 g/litre each). Possibility of considering antioxidant activity as a marker of shelf life has also been proposed.
