Summary

The objective of the study was to assess a variety of postharvest storage treatments including: modified atmophere packaging, ventpackaging, and automatic misting on antioxidant vitamin quality, moisture, colour retention, and peroxidase activity in broccoli florets over 6-day storage at 5 deg C. Modified atmosphere packaging resulted in the best retention of antioxidant vitamins, moisture and colour in lightly processed broccoli florets during postharvest storage.
