Abstract:
In order to understand the effect of transportation temperature and time on preservative quality of fresh common bean(
Phaseolus vulgaris L.)Cv. Guiyang-Qingbangdou were studied. The results showed that transportation at low temperature could significantly reduce the increase of the decay rat, weight loss and cellulose content of fresh common bean(
p<0.05). However, the hardness,
a* and
b* of fresh common bean remained remarkably at the 8 days shelf when transport at 25℃(
p<0.05). The decay rate, weight loss and respiration rate of fresh common bean showed a significant upward trend with the increase of transportation time during shelf(
p<0.05), and the TSS,
a* and
b* of fresh common bean showed a significant downward trend with the increase of transportation time during shelf(
p<0.05). To sum up, the common bean(
Phaseolus vulgaris L.)Cv. Guiyang-Qingbangdou is suitable for 25℃ and short time transportation, and the use of preservatives should be used in long distance transportation.
