Abstract

SummaryBrussels sprouts held in 7% CO2, light and 200 p.p.m. solutions of benzi-midazole at 21° C. for six days retained their original colour and maintained relatively high rates of respiration and photosynthesis after removal to air. Chlorophyll retention was greatest in the O2-free atmospheres in both light and darkness but undesirable odours developed.
