Elevated CO2 delayed yellowing by maintaining chlorophyll biosynthesis and inhibiting chlorophyll degradation and carotenoid accumulation of postharvest broccoli

Yuxiao Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect and mechanism of elevated CO2 treatment on pigment metabolism in postharvest broccoli. The results showed that 30% CO2 treatment could delay yellowing by reducing chlorophyll loss and carotenoid accumulation, thereby maintaining higher nutritional quality. It was also found that elevated CO2 treatment up-regulated chlorophyll synthesis genes and down-regulated chlorophyll degradation genes in postharvest broccoli.

Effect of folic acid on the postharvest physiology of broccoli during storage

Dongying Xu et al.

Summary: The study showed that folic acid treatment had a significant impact on the postharvest physiology of broccoli. It reduced flower opening and yellowing rates, inhibited weight loss, decreased respiration and ethylene production. Additionally, folic acid treatment enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity and gene expression while reducing oxidative stress.

Melatonin delays yellowing of broccoli during storage by regulating chlorophyll catabolism and maintaining chloroplast ultrastructure

Chenghao Wu et al.

Summary: Melatonin treatment significantly extended the shelf life of broccoli, delayed the decline of chlorophyll content, maintained more intact chloroplasts, suppressed the activities of chlorophyll catabolic enzymes, and down-regulated the expressions of genes involved in chlorophyll catabolism.

Short light exposure preserves broccoli head quality and nutrients during refrigerated storage

Federico M. Pintos et al.

Summary: Short light treatment can delay color changes, increase total sugars and ascorbic acid content, and enhance antioxidants and carotenoids levels in broccoli during storage. Three hours of white light exposure per day is an effective and practical technology to improve the storage and preservation of broccoli.
