ShareChlorophyll fluorescence, fermentation product accumulation, and quality of stored broccoli in modified atmosphere packages and subsequent air storage.
Author(s) : TOIVONEN P. M. A., DEELL J. R.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The authors studied changes in the chlorophyll fluorescence of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L., Italica group) in modified-atmosphere packaging, stored at 1 °C for 28 days. The sachets were then opened and the broccoli investigated over a 4-day period. Correlation analyses showed that chlorophyll fluorescence was closely linked to tissue ethanol and ethyl acetate contents. Chlorophyll fluorescence is a good predictor of off-odour in broccoli exposed to high CO2 atmospheres.
