ISHS Acta Horticulturae 163: Symposium on Quality of Vegetables
QUALITY ASPECTS OF DWARF FRENCH BEAN PRODUCTION |
| Author: | L.V. Bedford |
| Abstract:
Considerable research has been undertaken to improve vegetable yields but many important aspects of raw material quality, either for the fresh market or for processing, are often neglected. Sensory quality (colour, flavour and texture) of the final product, the problem of defects and the requirements for different styles of presentation are discussed with reference to work on dwarf French beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L) carried out at CFPRA. Choice of appropriate variety, correct maturity for harvesting, correct machinery settings for harvest and transportation conditions all aid the production of high quality produce. | |
