Summary

A STUDY WAS CONDUCTED ON THE CHANGES OCCURRING IN VITAMIN C CONTENT IN FROZEN CAULIFLOWER STORED UNDER DIFFERENT CONDITIONS. DURING STORAGE AT 251 K (-22 DEG C), 25% VITAMIN C WAS LOST AFTER 13 MONTHS AND 62.2% AFTER 30 MONTHS. AN ACCEPTABLE SENSORY QUALITY WAS CONSERVED FOR 10 MONTHS ; AFTER THIS TIME, A DECREASE BEGAN IN THE CHARACTERISTIC FLAVOUR. STORAGE IN A DISPLAY FREEZER DID NOT AFFECT VITAMIN C ; HOWEVER, STORAGE WITH TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS WAS VERY HARMFUL, ESPECIALLY REGARDING SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS.
