Keeping Qualities
Ethylene: Very little ethylene gas is produced during ripening of spinach. However, if exposed to even slightly elevated levels of the gas, there will be an acceleration in the aging process. This results in an unfavorable colour change.
Moisture Maintenance: Approx. Water Content: N/A %
Through maintaining a cool and moist environment it is possible to maximise shelf life:
The ideal storage conditions are 90-98% RH
Sensitivity Factors scale: 1-3 (3=very sensitive)
Temperature 2
Relative Humidity 1
Sensitivity to Ethylene -
Chilling injuries -
Weight Loss Graph: This graph shows how the product looses weight as it looses water when stored in a normal refrigerated environment of 5°C as opposed to one that is humidified to 95% RH.
