Broccoli (B. oleracea var. italica) was used for studying the effect of four anti-transpiration agents - paraffin, CO2, humic acid and sucrose ester, on water loss and pressure potential during storage. The results indicated that humic acid diluted 50-fold and 8% CO2+92% N2 significantly decreased the water loss and enhanced the shelf life of broccoli.
