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 ...

Effect of chitosan coatings on postharvest green asparagus quality

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013
Fresh postharvest green asparagus rapidly deteriorate due to its high respiration rate. The main benefits of edible active coatings are their edible characteristics, biodegradability and increase in food safety. In this study, the quality of the edible coatings based on 0.50%, 0.25% high-molecular weight chitosan (H-chitosan), and 0.50%, 0.25% low ...

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

Flavonoid Profile of Green Asparagus Genotypes

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2008
The determination of flavonoid profiles from different genotypes of triguero asparagus and their comparison to those from green asparagus commercial hybrids was the main goal of this study. The samples consisted of 32 commercial hybrids and 65 genotypes from the Huetor-Tajar population variety (triguero).

Mechanical properties of green asparagus

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2002
AbstractThe mechanical properties of three sections (upper, middle and lower) of the spears of green asparagus (Asparagus officinalis) were investigated as affected by storage and cooking. A range of methods based on cutting, compression and puncture was employed to measure mechanical properties of spear sections.

Harvest of Green Asparagus in Italy

Transactions of the ASAE, 1983
ABSTRACT THE location of production of green asparagus in Italy and harvesting by hand are examined. The results of harvesting green asparagus by the use of harvest-aid equipment and by a once-over mechanical harvester are presented. The results give useful information for the continuation of green asparagus harvesting research.
