Abstract:Summary. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of short-term storage (24-96 h) at different temperatures (3°C, 16°C and 21°C) on the colour, respiration rate and total soluble sugar content in broccoli heads. The respiration rate of broccoli heads was also measured at 21°C during 24 h. The results of the study revealed that the colour change (hue angle and L) was the highest in the broccoli heads kept at 3°C after one-day storage. On the fourth day of storage the hue value decreased at 21°C… Show more
