Application of High Pressures in the Postharvest Conservation of Broccoli
Broccoli is a vegetable of high nutritional value, rich in bioactive compounds, but has a fast degradation after harvest. This work assesses the effect of hyperbaric pressure, at room temperature, on postharvest conservation of broccoli. The broccoli samples were subjected to the five hyperbaric pre...

Broccoli is a vegetable of high nutritional value, rich in bioactive compounds, but has a fast degradation after harvest.
