Abstract: | From the chemical composition of leakage substances, it was concluded that there was greater leakage of micro-molecule components in cucumber fruits which had been chilled to 0°C than in fruit chilled to 5°C. However, leakage of macro-molecule components was greater in the 5°C fruit than in the 0°C fruit with longer periods of storage. These results suggest that the plasmalemma develops leakage in the 0°C fruit, whereas there is membrane breakage in the 5°C fruit.Microscopic observations support this assumption. |
