Summary

FRESH ASPARAGUS, BROCCOLI, AND CAULIFLOWER WERE HELD UNDER CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE (CAS) AND AMBIENT AIR SYSTEMS AT 277 K (4 DEG C) FOR 21 DAYS. CAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED THE GROWTH OF MICROORGANISMS ON BROCCOLI BUT HAD NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT WITH THE OTHER VEGETABLES. ASPARAGUS STORED UNDER CAS WAS EASIER TO SHEAR AND HAD SLIGHTLY HIGHER HUE ANGLES THAN THOSE OF ASPARAGUS STORED UNDER AIR. CAULIFLOWER STORED UNDER CAS SHOWED LESS DECLINE IN VALUE. CAS EXTENDED THE LENGTH OF TIME VEGETABLES WERE SUBJECTIVELY CONSIDERED ACCEPTABLE FOR CONSUMPTION.
