Analysis and Evaluation on Postharvest Quality of 8 Garlic Sprouts in Sichuan
[Objective]This study aimed to clarify the visual and nutritional attributes of the post-harvested local garlic variety of Sichuan(Allium sativum L.),facilitating the identification of superior strains.[Method]Eight varieties of garlic cultivated in concentrated fields were assessed for post-harvest quality metrics(individual bulb weight,length,tip length,thickness,stem rigidity,soluble solids,allicin con-tent,and crude fiber),with subsequent analysis.[Result]Variability coefficients for the eight metrics across garlic strains ranged from 6.54%to 19.16%,with four metrics,individual bulb weight,tip length,allicin,and crude fiber,exhibiting coefficients exceeding 10%.Leibo Garlic and Yanting Garlic demonstrated sig-nificantly higher individual bulb weights at 29.69 g and 27.03 g,respectively.Huiyezi boasted the highest soluble solid content at 13.16%,while Yanting Garlic displayed the highest allicin content at 8.01 mg/g.Length,tip length,and thickness of garlic sprout correlated positively with individual bulb weight.Cluster analysis categorized all varieties based on appearance,nutrition,flavor,and taste,revealing two distinct groups.Membership function analysis emphasized the superior overall quality of Ebian Red Garlic,Yanting Garlic,and Zhengyuezao based on five key quality indexes.[Conclusion]This study further clarified the post-harvest quality characteristics of Sichuan garlic cultivars,and the three varieties Ebian Red garlic,Yanting Garlic,and Zhengyuezao can be used as the dominant germplasm resources in production.
