Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Neither treated nor untreated carrot showed apparent decay over three days.
- Intervention effect Ethylene treatment was associated with brown pitting in phloem, but not xylem.
- Intervention effect Ethylene increased bitterness in phloem more than xylem.
- Observation Bitterness was significant nearest the cut surface and moderate farther away.
- Observation Untreated tissue showed no apparent change in isocoumarin and phenols.
- Intervention effect Ethylene increased reducing sugar in phloem.
- Intervention effect Ethylene decreased total sugar in phloem.
- Recommendation Authors propose storage without ethylene.
