Summary

QUALITY CHANGES OF GREEN-AND SALT-STOCK CUCUMBERS HELD AT 278, 293 AND 303 K (5, 20 AND 30 DEG C) UP TO 6 DAYS PRIOR TO BRINING WERE EVALUATED. CUCUMBERS HELD AT 278 K SHOWED FIRM TEXTURE, LOW RESPIRATION RATES, MINIMUM WEIGHT LOSS, AND GOOD QUALITY STOCK AFTER FERMENTATION. BRINING DIRECTLY AFTER HARVEST YIELDED THE HIGHEST QUALITY SALT-STOCK. CUCUMBERS HELD 2 DAYS AT 293 K OR 6 DAYS AT 278 K RESULTED IN GOOD SALT-STOCK QUALITY.
