Summary

High pressure liquid chromatographic methods were used to measure the concentration of vitamin C and beta-carotene in broccoli and green pepper. There was a statistically significant decrease in vitamin C over a 10-day storage period of unpacked and packaged vegetables. The overall loss of beta-carotene during the 10-day storage period was not statistically significant (P= 0.14).
