Wills R.B.H., . and Wong T., . Effect of low ethylene levels on the storage life of the Asian leafy vegetables Bak Choi (Brassica chinensis) Choi Sum (Brassica parachinensis) and Gai Lan (Brassica alboglabra). pp. 145-147. ISSN 1505-5337
Abstract
Three Asian leafy vegetables bak choi choi sum and gai lan were held at 20 and 0 degree C and ventilated continously with air containing ethylene at concentrations ranging from 0.005 to 10 microlitre per litre. At both temperatures the time that all three vegetables remained at high quality increased linearly with a logarithmic decrease in ethylene concentration. The increase in storage life between 1 microlitre per litre a likely level of ethylene encountered during normal marketing and the lowest level used (0.005 microlitre per litre) was about 100 percent at 20 degree C and 25 percent at 0 degree C. The effects are considered to be of commercial significance.
