Although CaAs
had significantly larger L* values on days 0, 1, and 3 than the control
and CA treatments, the differences in L* diminished after 7 days in
storage. Similarly, although CC and ASC treatment maintained
larger L* values during the early storage, the differences in L*
diminished towards the end of storage. However, treatment containing
SC and SC&CC maintained significantly larger L* values than
all other treatments throughout the entire 14 day storage, suggesting
that SC and SC&CC effectively delayed browning reaction of
apple slices during storage.
