Abstract
This study was carried out at laboratory of Vegetable Handling Research Department, Horticulture Research Institute, Agriculture Research Center during 2013 to 2016 seasons. The study was conducted to find out the suitable conditions for sprout production (seeding media and seeding density) of artichoke, spinach and lettuce as well as comparison nutrition value of sprouts and economic part that is eaten and evaluate the effect of some postharvest treatments and modified atmosphere packaging on microbiological and sensory quality of artichoke sprouts for increasing storage period with good quality and making them available and mean while safe to consumer.
The objectives of the present study were as follow:
1. Studding the effect of different growing media on characters and yield of artichoke, spinach and lettuce sprouts.
2. Studding the effect of different seeding density on characters and yield of artichoke, spinach ad lettuce sprouts.
3. Determination the nutritional value of sprouts and economic part that is eaten of artichoke, spinach and lettuce.
4. Studding the effect of some postharvest treatments on quality and storability of artichoke sprouts during storage.
5. Studding the effect of modified atmosphere packaging on microbiological and sensory quality of artichoke sprouts.
Sprout production
1. Effect of seeding media on sprout characters and yield of artichoke, spinach and lettuce
Seeds of artichoke, spinach and lettuce were used at five media (sponge, cotton cloth, paper towel, hydroponic (without media) and sand) to evaluate the convenient seeding media. Artichoke, spinach and lettuce were collected after 15, 10 and 7 days by intervals after germination.
The results can be summarized as following:
Using sand medium resulted increase in sprouts characters (length and weight) and yield (sprout yield per package, yield per one gram of seeds and yield per package unit area) of artichoke, spinach and lettuce compared with the other media (paper towel, cotton cloth, sponge and hydroponic(without media)).
2. Effect of seeding density on sprout characters and yield of artichoke, spinach and lettuce.
Seeds of artichoke, spinach and lettuce were used at four densities (25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) to evaluate the convenient seeding density. Seeds were sown in sand media (the best media from the previous experiment). Artichoke, spinach and lettuce were collected after 15, 10 and 7 days by intervals after germination.
The results can be summarized as follows:
Sprout length and weight were increased when seeding density decreased (100%, 75%, 50% and 25%) in artichoke, spinach and lettuce
