THE INFLUENCE OF THE BROCCOLI (Brassica oleracea var. itálica) FILL WEIGTH ON POSTHARVEST QUALITY1
نویسندگان
چکیده
Broccoli which is an important source of vitamins and anticarcinogenic property substances [23], presents a short shelf-life, especially at room temperature, due to immaturity of the texture in the moment of the harvest as well as to physiological factors regulated by genetic mechanisms [30]. Several changes are observed along its senescence and some are easily observed as the yellowing generated by the chlorophyll degradation, the flower buds opening, the loss of turgidity, off-odors development, nutritional value reduction and the increase in the peroxidase activity [14].

Colorless Chlorophyll Catabolites in Senescent Florets of Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica)
Typical postharvest storage of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) causes degreening of this common vegetable with visible loss of chlorophyll (Chl). As shown here, colorless Chl-catabolites are generated. In fresh extracts of degreening florets of broccoli, three colorless tetrapyrrolic Chl-catabolites accumulated and were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC): two "n...
