VOLATILES OF PARSLEY ROOTS AFTER STORAGE UNDER DIFFERENT RELATIVE HUMIDITY CONDITIONS |
| Authors: | U. Kraxner, J. Weichmann |
| Abstract:
Storage conditions so far recommended for vegetable storage do not seem to present an optimum. Literature often suggests higher humidity conditions. For storage of great a number of vegetable species even saturation humidity is proposed as "optimum humidity", or at least recommended as a desirable optimum (Robinson et al., 1975; van den Berg, 1976). Levels of storage loss of root vegetables can be distinctly decreased by providing extremely high relative humidities (van den Berg et al., 1977). No results are known about the reaction of quality governing components to such conditions. Therefore, the post harvest reaction of some quality governing components to modified humidity conditions was investigated (Kraxner, 1980). The results given by this paper are to inform about volatiles of turnip-rooted parsley. | |
