Author(s) : O'HARE T. J., WONG L. S., PRASAD A., et al.

Summary

At retail temperatures (e.g. 10 °C) however, postharvest shelf life of these vegetables can be severely curtailed by leaf yellowing. Atmosphere modification of oxygen and carbon dioxide was found to retard leaf yellowing of all brassicas tested. Results are detailed according to varieties of Asian brassicas.
