Effects of GA3 on Postharvest Quality of California burclove
To increase shelf life of C.burclove,the vegetables were treated by GA3 with different concentrations,the quality changes of C.burclove were investigated under (20± 1)℃ storage.Results:The shelf life of C.burclove treated by 20 mg/L GA3 was 90 h,50 mg/L was 82 h,increased by 10 h and 2 h respectively compared to the control.At the end of shelf life,the contents of chlorophyll,protein and Vc of C.burclove treated with 20 mg/L GA3 were 25.1%,3.2% and 5.7% higher than that in the control respectively,the weight loss and amino acids were 46.7% and 8.0% lower than that in the control respectively.The contents of chlorophyll,soluble protein and Vc of C.burclove treated with 50 mg/L GA3 were 20.0%,6.9% and 4.4% higher than that in the control respectively,but the weight loss and amino acids were 0.36% and 34.9% higher than that in the control.Conclusion:20 mg/L treatment could maintain the quality of C.burclove in storage.
