Summary

The work was initiated to determine the effects of cold storage duration and storage temperature on the shelf life of wrapped broccoli when subsequently placed into elevated temperatures to simulate retail shelf conditions. In addition, the effect of hydro-cooling prior to wrapping was evaluated. The tests were designed to test the potential for micro-perforated wrap in extending shelf life of broccoli under varied postharvest handling conditions. Results are given.
