Abstract

This study was carried out for evaluating the effect of some different packages on the keeping quality of broccoli heads, Brassica (*races var. italics cv. Tokyo Dome F1 hybrid during storage. Two types of packages were examined, namely: cardboard carton boxes of three different sizes (30x20x10, 40x30x9 and 45x30x14 cm), and non perforated and perforated polyethylene bags at the size of 45x30 cm, where the ventilation holes percentage of perforated bags were 0.15, 0.30 and 0.45%. The evaluation of the various packages proved that large boxes (45 x 30 x14 cm) and non-perforated polyethylene bags were the promising ones in minimizing the heads loss in weight and the unmarketable percentage. Moreover, all packages retained more T.S.S., ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll and total sugars as compared to the control treatment.
