EFFECT OF STORAGE ATMOSPHERE ON POSTHARVEST QUALITY OF CAULIFLOWER.

Author(s) : SARAY T.

Summary

STORAGE TESTS HAVE BEEN CARRIED OUT ON AUTUMN-GROWN CAULIFLOWER CULTIVARS. AS COMPARED TO COLD STORAGE, CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE HAS REDUCED SIGNIFICANTLY THE WEIGHT-LOSS AND THE DECAY, BUT WAS ONLY SLIGHTLY EFFECTIVE AGAINST ENZYMIC COLOUR CHANGES. THERE WAS A CLOSE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE SPOILAGE RATIO AND THE TITRATABLE FREE ACID CONTENT. THE ULTRA-STRUCTURE OF THE STORED CAULIFLOWERS REMAINED UNALTERED EVEN AFTER 70-90 DAYS OF CA STORAGE, AND THE CAULIFLOWERS COULD BE KEPT WITHOUT A CONSIDERABLE LOSS FOR AN ADDITIONAL PERIOD OF 3-4 DAYS, EVEN WITHOUT ARTIFICIAL COOLING.
