Effect of refrigeration storage on firmness and pungency (flavour development) of onion bulbs Allium cepa L.
Author(s) : BENKEBLIA N., BELARBI M.
Summary
The effect of refrigeration on firmness and pungency (flavour development) of onion bulbs Allium cepa L., cv. Rouge Amposta during long term storage was investigated. The firmness of bulbs increased linearly during storage at both 4 and 20 °C temperatures, and the effect was highly significant after six months of storage. However, this increase in firmness was moderate and was correlated to the dehydration of the plant tissues. Refrigeration seems to have a negative effect on the flavour development of onion bulbs.
