Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation The greatest weight loss of late-ripening cauliflower heads was 12.8–16.9 % in the control in 2015.
- Observation Weight loss of late-ripening cauliflower heads was less in 2016, 11.7–13.8 %, depending on the hybrid.
- Observation Casper F1 hybrid lost 13.7 % less weight during unpacked storage in 2015–2017.
- Observation Santamaria F1 hybrid lost 12.7 % less weight during unpacked storage in 2015–2017.
- Observation Skywalker F1 hybrid lost 15.5 % less weight during unpacked storage in 2015–2017.
- Observation Intensity of moisture reduction in cauliflower stored at 1±0.5°C ranged from 0.27 to 9.3 %, depending on the packaging technique.
- Observation Moisture evaporation under stretch film was the same in all hybrids, 0.3 % per day.
- Intervention effect Perforated stretch film increased moisture evaporation slightly, from 0.37 % in the Casper F1 hybrid to 0.43 in the Skywalker F1 hybrid.
- Observation The ratio of moisture loss to dry matter loss was 11.2 in Santamaria F1 and 13.2 in Casper F1 heads stored without packaging.
- Observation The ratio of moisture loss to dry matter loss was 0.23–0.23 under stretch film storage.
- Observation The ratio of moisture loss to dry matter loss was 0.35–0.43 under perforated stretch film storage.
- Association Cauliflower weight loss during storage correlated with HTC, average daily temperature and relative humidity of the vegetation period, and with dry matter content, volume and porosity of heads.
- Association Regression equations forecast cauliflower weight loss during storage from vegetation-period weather and head dry matter and physical indicators.
- Observation The difference between cauliflower hybrids over the years of study was significant.
