| Abstract: | Leafy vegetables (curry leaves
and drumstick leaves) were dehydrated in cabinet drier at 58±2°C and packed in
four
packaging materials (200 gauge
and 400 gauge LDPE, 200 gauge HDPE and 150 gauge PP) and stored at room
temperature (RT)
and low temperature (LT) for 3
months to evaluate best package and storage temperature for maximum retention
of nutrients in
leafy vegetables during
storage. HDPE (200 gauge), followed by storage at LT (7±1°C), was found to be
good for higher
retention of -carotene, ascorbic acid,
chlorophyll content, rehydration ratio, sensory score and less moisture and
non-enzymatic
browning (NEB) in dehydrated vegetable leaves during 3 months of storage. |
