Abstract
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of chlorinated water on storage quality and microbial reduction of tah tasai Chinese cabbage young leaf vegetable (microgreen). Fresh young leaves were washed in cold (5) and warm (25) chlorinated water with 0, 50 or 100 mg.L free chlorine for 90 sec. Samples were then packaged in polypropylene (PP) film bag and stored for 8 days at 15. Changes in weight loss, color, SPAD value, external appearance, and aerobic plate count (APC) were evaluated. Chlorinated water treatment at 5 had a more beneficial effect on visual quality, weight loss, SPAD value change than 25 chlorinated water treatment. No significant difference was found in APC on the surface of tah tasai Chinese cabbage microgreen after 3-day storage period. Chlorinated water either at 5 or 25 with 50-100 mg.L free chlorine significantly reduced APC during the initial period of storage (up to 2 days). The results indicated that chlorinated water only affected microbial reduction until tah tasai Chinese cabbage microgreen maintained its initial quality.
