Summary

The possibility of preventing leaf yellowing and head rot, using high dosages of CO2 and O2 during storage at 0 °C, was evaluated. The effect of PVC film on wilting and yellowing during shelf life at 20 °C was also tested. The results show that high concentrations of CO2 (10, 15, and 20%) delayed leaf yellowing and Alternaria brassicicola rot on cauliflower. Unfortunately, these levels caused injury inside the stem, and developed off-flavours and odours after cooking.
