Özet

In this study, cauliflower florets were treated with NaCl (1%) + Na-metabisulphite (1500 ppm) solution and chlorinated (150 ppm, pH: 6.9). They were then rinsed with tap water. In this manner, one group of vegetables was treated with citric acid solution (1.5%) and the other group with Ca-ascorbate (0.5%) + citric acid (1%) solution. After centrifugation, the samples were packed in 20% atmospheric air + 80% N-2 and 20% atmospheric air + 70% N-2 + 10% CO2 conditions with bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film.
