- Observation Calcium lactate maintained quality senescence indicators in Iceberg lettuce as well as chlorine.
- Observation Calcium lactate enhanced nutritional values in stored sliced carrots better than chlorine.
- Observation Chlorine produced greater colour change in sliced carrots.
- Observation Calcium lactate washing prevented bleaching in saladcut lettuce.
- Observation Calcium lactate washing prevented bleaching in sliced carrots.
- Observation Calcium lactate washing diminished white surfaces during storage in the vegetables.
- Observation Ascorbic acid decreased during storage independently of treatment in both vegetables.
- Observation Sliced carrots treated with calcium lactate had higher carotenoid content than chlorine treated carrots at storage end.
- Observation Acceptability did not significantly differ between treatments for either vegetable at storage end.
- Observation Mesophile, psychrophile and lactic acid bacteria counts were not significantly different between treatments.
