Morphological, physicochemical and sensory evaluation of celery harvested from early to late maturity

Abstract: C elery is a highly appreciated vegetable for its fibber content and nutritional value. The plant has approximately 20 leaves attached to the crown, were the stem is. Each leaf is formed by a large and fully solid petiole and several leaflets. The petiole is the most commonly used part for consumption.High quality celery consists of stalks which are well formed, have thick petioles, are compact, have minimal petiole twisting, and have a light green and fresh appearance. Additional quality indexes are stalk and… Show more

“…Leaves of medicinal herbs Rosaceae , Asteraceae and Lamiaceae were collected during the flowering period. Each leaf was marked as external, middle or internal considering its position within the plant, according to its length, the degree of development and level of association (Yommi et al, 2013). The longer, greener, and alternated leaves were considered as external.…”

“…Although the harvesting date is genotype and growing conditions dependent, early harvests may improve the quality of the end product mostly through the visual appearance (color and texture) and physicochemical composition [80], as well as through the increased content of essential oil in the leaves [81]. Late harvests may increase total yield when a single harvest is implemented, however the overall quality of celery petioles is reduced, especially in terms of tissue texture [82]. The white color of petioles is associated with high quality and increases consumers' acceptance, therefore, various cultivation practices (also known as blanching) are implemented to improve petioles color, including covering plants with pots, tie wrapping the leaves in order to cover the middle of the rosette, and hilling up with soil.…”

“…Despite the resulted in deeper water table treatment, celery can still grow. Celery should be ready for harvest at 85 to 120 days after transplanting depending on the variety (Yommi et al, 2013). Therefore, cultivated celery from tiller parents can be an alternative to cultivated in riparian wetland to increase agriculture activity there by shortening the planting period.…”
