Chemical composition of the radicchio (Cichorum intybus, L.) and its changes during refrigerated storage.

Summary

The radicchio belongs to the group of chicory and is sometimes known as the red endive. Its chemical composition and the changes produced during 4 months' cold storage (0 deg C and 90% relative humidity) were analyzed, mainly for organoleptic characteristics, soluble solids, vitamin C, beta-carotene, moisture, pH, acidity, ashes, and total and reducing sugars. The results are presented in graphs and tables, and are discussed.
