Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to methods for inhibiting the discoloration of mechanically and physiologically injured fruits and vegetables, and relates more particularly to methods for inhibiting the discoloration of minimally processed fresh broccoli.
  • cut stem discoloration Of the estimated 3 billion pounds of broccoli that are marketed in the United States each year, more than half are processed soon after harvest and are shipped ready for consumption. Whole, unprocessed heads of broccoli may be stored under refrigeration for many weeks without significant deterioration. However, processed fresh broccoli that has been in refrigerated storage for just a week or two will become pale green, the florets will begin to turn yellow, and the cut stem will begin to brown. This latter form of broccoli discoloration is referred to as cut stem discoloration.
  • the rate at which the discoloration of processed fresh broccoli occurs is also a function of the physiological condition of the broccoli prior to harvesting and processing, the chemical treatments that are applied to the broccoli during processing, if any, and the humidity levels and the temperatures at which the processed fresh broccoli is stored.
  • variations in the physiology of the whole, unprocessed heads of broccoli caused by different degrees of environmental stress during the growing season, such as heat stress and drought stress will result in variations in the onset of discoloration when the broccoli is processed, and stored under a given set of storage conditions. Broccoli that is grown in poorly irrigated fields tends to form discoloration more rapidly after processing than does broccoli that is grown in well irrigated fields, for example.
  • Discoloration is unsightly and unappetizing. As a result, consumers invariable associate discoloration with distastefully old broccoli, even though the taste and nutritional value of the processed fresh broccoli are not affected by the appearance of discoloration. Therefore, the appearance of discoloration leads to significant commercial waste if the processed fresh broccoli is pulled from the retail shelf before taste and nutrition are affected.
  • the new methods of the present invention utilize safe and natural chemicals that are effective in such low concentrations that they do not impart an off-color or taste to the processed fresh broccoli to which they are applied.
  • One embodiment of the present invention is a method for inhibiting the discoloration of processed fresh broccoli, comprising handling the broccoli for fresh consumption and exposing that processed fresh broccoli to a solution of sodium citrate, ascorbic acid, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and L-cysteine hydrochloride, in weight percentage ratios ranging from about 59.6 to about 72 parts sodium citrate, to about 14.4 to about 17.9 parts ascorbic acid, to about 12.6 to about 7.6 parts sodium acid pyrophosphate, and to about 6 to about 9.9 parts L-cysteine hydrochloride, and the remainder water until the sodium citrate, ascorbic acid, sodium acid pyrophosphate, and L-cysteine hydrochloride have been diluted to a combined weight percentage concentration of from about 0.25 to at least about 2.0 weight percent of the solution, the exposing including contacting the processed fresh broccoli with the solution for a time sufficient such that the contacting inhibits the discoloration of the processed fresh broccoli when the processed fresh broccoli is expos 'i to an atmosphere that
  • Another embodiment of the present invention is the method for inhibiting the discoloration of processed fresh broccoli set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, and further comprising treating the processed fresh broccoli prior to, or after, the exposing step with chlorinated water having a chlorine concentration of from about 50 ppm to less than about 150 ppm.
