Nondestructive Color Measurement of Fresh Broccoli

Abstract: A major limitation in the calorimetry of fresh broccoli has been the curvature of the head. Total chlorophyll concentration and visual appearance have thus been the methods of choice for color measurement. Samples from six cultivars selected for obvious visual color differences were presented to an older (Gardner C-4) and a newer (Gardner XL-845) generation calorimeter using both whole head and shaved floret sample presentations. No significant differences were observed in the total chlorophyll concentrations … Show more

“…Muitos fatores influenciam na qualidade das frutas pré-cortadas, como as condições de crescimento e práticas culturais, a cultivar, o ponto de colheita, a colheita e o manuseio pós-colheita, os padrões de inspeção, assim como a duração e as condições de armazenamento (Shewfelt et al, 1987).…”

“…As expected, fresh-cut broccoli has a shorter SL than whole broccoli; this is due to the high respiration rate of the vegetable. The quality loss is mainly caused by surface dehydration and loss of green color with yellowing and opening of florets, loss of stem firmness, development of undesirable odors, and soft rots (Shewfelt et al 1984;Berrang et al 1990;Forney et al 1993). In response to the plant tissue alterations, microorganisms proliferate, further contributing to product SL reduction (Nguyen and Carlin 1994;Brackett 1989).…”
