Summary

Shredded lettuce was dipped in 0 to 100 milligrammes/liter active chlorine solution and then in 0 to 1.0 mol/liter glycine betaine solution, packed in 25-micrometer oriented polypropylene film, 250 g per package, and stored at 5 °C for 8 days. The optimum glycine betaine concentration was 0.2 mol/liter. Chlorination of the first dip particularly retained appearance of packed lettuce.
