Study on hypobaric storage of green asparagus

Journal of Food Engineering, 2006
Abstract The effects of hypobaric storage on the biological characteristics of green asparagus were compared against refrigeration and room temperature storage. Hypobaric storage significantly (P ⩽ 0.05) inhibited the respiratory intensity, preserved chlorophyll, vitamin C, titratable acidity and soluble solids, and also reduced MDA accumulation in ...

Robotic Green Asparagus Selective Harvesting

IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, 2017
Robotic harvesting in the open field demands innovative solutions in robot perception and mechanics to cope with environmental challenges. In this paper, a prototype robotic harvester that is able to cope with the challenges of selective harvesting of green asparagus is presented.

Green Bean and Asparagus Blanching Data

Transactions of the ASAE, 1984
ABSTRACT THE effects of blanching on asparagus and cut green beans were determined by measuring gas removal and recovery after blanch. Canned beans were also examined for changes after storage. Gas removal from the asparagus was almost complete after the first minute of blanch and increased with blanch temperature. All changes in green beans are nearly

Mineral composition of frozen green asparagus

European Food Research and Technology, 2004
The contents of macroelements (Ca, Mg, Na, K y P) and trace elements (Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn) of frozen green asparagus were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry to investigate the possible changes during 45 and 90 days frozen storage at −18 °C. A significant decrease of mineral concentrations was observed at 45 days of frozen storage. After 90 days,

Changes in microbial diversity of brined green asparagus upon treatment with high hydrostatic pressure

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 2016
The application of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP, 600 MPa, 8 min) on brined green asparagus and the changes in bacterial diversity after treatments and during storage at 4 °C (30 days) or 22 °C (10 days) were studied.

Effect of Storage on Wall-Bound Phenolics in Green Asparagus

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2002
The cell walls of green asparagus spears have been analyzed for their phenolic and carbohydrate composition as modified by postharvest storage. Esterified phenolic components were released by sequential alkaline hydrolysis and identified and quantified by diode array HPLC.

Mechanical Harvester For Green Asparagus

Transactions of the ASAE, 1959
Results of 1968 Tests Indicate that Substantial Reductions in Yield of Green Asparagus can be Expected with Selective Mechanical Harvesting, as well as with Nonselective Harvesting. Under Present Conditions a Grower's Net Profit Would be Reduced if he Changed from Hand Cutting to Either System of Mechanical Harvesting.

PRECOOLING and MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE STORAGE of GREEN ASPARAGUS

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, 1991
In the jrst study, the effects of 3 precooling techniques on the storability of locally grown green asparagus kept for 21 days at I .5"C under normal atmosphere (RA) were assessed and compared. In the second study, the keeping quality of green asparagus stored at 1.5"C for 28 days, under RA with 2 levels of relative humidity (RH), and under 3 diflerent

Freeze avoidance in green and white asparagus spears

Scientia Horticulturae, 1994
Abstract Previous studies have indicated that white asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis L.) spears grown under black plastic mulch tended to incur less freeze damage than green spears grown without cover. The objectives of our study were to determine whether ice-nucleation active (INA) bacteria limit supercooling of asparagus spears and whether the ...

Lignin Deposition and Effect of Postharvest Treatment on Lignification of Green Asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.)

Plant Growth Regulation, 2006
To understand how lignin synthesis is regulated after harvest, detached green asparagus stalks (Asparagus officinalis L.) were treated with 1 μl l−1 of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), 50 μg l−1 gibberellic acid (GA3), 2% (v:v) ethanol or 1 μl l−1 ethylene. The results showed that lignin concentration in asparagus stalks stored at room temperature rapidly
