Effect of temperature and type of packages on nitrates and nitrites content in lettuce

Effect of temperature and type of packages on nitrates and nitrites content in lettuce

Lettuce wrapped in unperforated PE film, perforated PE film, stretch film and without wrapping was stored at 1, 6, 20 and 28°C. Freshly harvested lettuce and after one day of storage, independently on storage conditions, did not contains nitrites„ During storage of lettuce at 1°C only one time smal...
