Shelf life of lace varieties under different kinds of packaging and harvesting times

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the shelf life of purple curly and crisp lettuce varieties in two different harvesting periods with different borehole, no bore and no packaging, evaluating soluble solids content, titratable acidity and mass loss. All parameters were statistically significant, but the most important was the loss of mass, indicating that the treatments with the use of the package without bore harvested at 5:30 proved to be the most effective in the conservation of lettuce during the epochs.
