Effects of temperature on storage quality and shelf-life of Kailaan (Brassica oleraceae var. Alboglaba)
The experiment was to study the effect of storage temperature on the qualities of Kailaan. The storage temperature at 1 5 10 and 25°C were conducted in this experiment. The results showed that Kailaan stored at 1°C was able to maintain a better quality than the Kailaan stored at 5 and 10°C, respectively. By dint of at 1°C storage temperature the alteration of fiber formation, shear, force, chlorophyllase activity and chlorophyll content could be delayed and the storage life could extend to 10 days.
