Textural properties and cell wall metabolism of white asparagus spears (Asparagus officinalis L.). Texture is o­ne of the predominant quality requirement for fresh fruits and vegetables and serve as an indicator of product quality.Textural properties are being attributed to various chemical and physical compounds and underly complex biochemical and physiological processes during product development and during postharvest.In asparagus spears (Asparagus officinalis L.), changes in quality determining textural properties, i.e. cell wall carbohydrates and water status has not been fully elucidated or characterized.

The aim of the present investigation was to characterize the effect of varying postharvest temperature regimes (2 °C, 10 °C, 20 °C) o­n postharvest textural changes (cell wall carbohydrates, water status, physical texture measures) and to determine interaction between these properties which will be discussed in detail in terms of a better understanding of the dynamic of textural related physiological processes in postharvest.
