The influence of aqueous ozone treatment on fresh-cut cabbage during storage was evaluated, showing significant inhibitory effects on microbial growth. The treatment also reduced ethylene production and improved overall quality. Furthermore, it effectively removed pesticide residues from cabbage, making it a cost-effective method for enhancing storability.
The influence of aqueous ozone (1.4 mg/L) treatment for 1, 5, and 10 min on the microbial growth and quality attributes of fresh-cut cabbage during storage at 4 degrees C for 12 days was evaluated. The pesticide residue removal effect of aqueous ozone treatment for 5 min was also determined. The results show that the growth rates of aerobic bacteria, coliforms, and yeasts were significantly inhibited (p < .05) by aqueous ozone treatment during storage; treatment for 10 min showed the greatest inactivation of bacteria, coliforms, and molds. Aqueous ozone stimulated initial respiratory metabolism compared with that of the control. Aqueous ozone treatments reduced ethylene production and improved the overall quality of fresh-cut cabbage. In addition, the effect of aqueous ozone treatment for 5 min on the removal of trichlorfon, chlorpyrifos, methomyl, dichlorvos, and omethoate from fresh-cut cabbage was greater (p < .05) than that of the control. These results indicate that aqueous ozone treatment for 5 min could be an economic and effective method to remove pesticide residues and enhance the storability of fresh-cut cabbage.
