Abstract
The influence of harvest date on storability and carbohydrate composition of winter white cabbage cv. Hidena F[ was investigated over three years. Late nitrogen had no significant effect on storage loss or the content of soluble sugars after storage in a refrigerated store at 0-l°C with an r.h. of 95-98%, but lowered the dry matter content in cabbage head leaves. Harvest date had a strong significant influence on the composition of both cabbage cores and head leaves. Harvest date x storage time interaction was significant for dry matter but not for the amount of hexoses. The pattern of changes in the composition of head leaves and cores showed the same trend each year but with a clear difference between the two parts of the cabbage. In the cores, sucrose decreased during the first two months of storage without a concomitant rise in hexoses but during the second half of the storage period there was a net gain in sucrose probably caused by translocation of carbohydrates from the head leaves to the core. The pattern of changes in carbohydrate composition during storage probably reflects certain events in the biennial cycle of the cabbage plant e.g. vernalization and the terminating of the rest period. The overall results of this investigation give no support for an influence of the time of harvest on storability of cabbage.
