Summary

A COMMERCIAL SCALE EXPERIMENT WAS PERFORMED TO COMPARE THE STORABILITY OF WINTER GREEN CABBAGES IN A CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE (ASCA) ROOM AND IN A CONVENTIONAL COLD ROOM. IN THE ASCA ROOM, THE CABBAGES WERE STORED FOR 32 WEEKS AT A TEMPERATURE OF 274.3 K (1.3 DEG C) AND IN AN ATMOSPHERE OF 5-6% CARBON DIOXIDE, 2-3% OXYGEN, WHEREAS IN THE CONTROL REGULAR ATMOSPHERE (RA) ROOM, THE PERIOD OF STORAGE WAS THE SAME BUT AT 273.3 K (0.3 DEG C). THE AVERAGE TRIMMING LOSSES WERE LESS THAN 10% FOR THE ASCA ROOM AND GREATER THAN 30% FOR THE RA ROOM. THE CABBAGES STORED IN THE ASCA ROOM SHOWED BETTER RETENTION OF THEIR COLOUR, FLAVOUR AND TEXTURE.
