Title
Heat Treatment Affects Postharvest Quality of Kale and Collard, but not of Brussels Sprouts
Chien Y. Wang HortTechnology 1999. doi:10.21273/horttech.9.1.133c
Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Heating kale at 45 °C for 30 minutes maintained better postharvest quality.
- Intervention effect The kale heat treatment delayed yellowing.
- Intervention effect The kale heat treatment reduced sugar and organic acid losses during storage at 15 °C.
- Intervention effect Heating collard at 40 °C for 60 minutes delayed yellowing and maintained leaf turgidity.
- Intervention effect Other heat treatments were less beneficial, ineffective or injurious.
- Observation Heat injury occurred beyond tolerance levels of temperature and duration.
- Observation Some heat-injured tissues stayed green but developed fungal infection.
