The effect of temperature and package type on shelf life of freeze-dried Brussels sprouts.

Summary

Freeze-dried Brussels sprouts, variety Boxer, was vacuum-packed into laminated-foil bags (polyamide, polyethylene) and into polyethylene-foil bags without air evacuation. The product thus packed was stored at temperatures of 0 and 20 °C. At specified time intervals the concentration of vitamin C, the content of chlorophyll pigments and their magnesium-free derivatives, pheophytins, and moisture content were determined. Based on the recorded results, it has been found that the package type has a greater effect on the stability of vitamin C and chlorophyll pigments in the stored freeze-dried Brussels sprouts than the temperature.
