Vijai Kumar; Neelash Chauhan; Jaivir Singh; et al. International Journal of Agriculture Extension and Social Development 2025. doi:10.33545/26180723.2025.v8.i9b.2377
Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation pH declined during storage across treatments, fastest in control.
- Observation Ascorbic acid declined during storage across treatments.
- Intervention effect KMS improved ascorbic acid retention.
- Intervention effect Citric acid maintained lower pH.
- Intervention effect Citric acid showed antimicrobial action.
- Intervention effect Blanching retained quality better than control but less than chemical treatments.
- Observation Moisture increased during storage in all treatments.
- Observation KMS and citric acid showed the least moisture gain.
- Observation Titratable acidity increased during storage, especially untreated.
- Observation Optical density decreased steadily.
- Intervention effect KMS retained better visual quality.
- Observation Ash content fell slightly.
- Intervention effect Chemical treatments retained minerals better than controls.
- Intervention effect Potassium metabisulfite was most effective overall in preserving cauliflower quality.
- Recommendation The authors recommend KMS or citric acid pretreatment for commercial dehydration and storage.
