BIOLOGICAL-TECHNOLOGICAL METHOD FOR OBSTRUCTING THE DEVELOPMEN OF VIOLET COLORING ON THE STEM OF WHITE ASPARAGUS AFTER HARVESTING AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention refers to a biological-technological method for obstructing the development of violet coloring on the stem of white asparagus after harvesting and to a mechanism for implementing said method consisting in exposing the white asparagus stems to gas carbon dioxide for 10-24 hours and at a temperature of 0-20 Centigrades immediately after harvesting or at a maximum of 10 hours thereafter, the stems being arranged in a cooled air-tight chamber or in a cooled chamber characterized by selective permeability to respiratory gases.
