Temperature and time of storage before cutting may have a great impact on post-cutting quality and storability of fresh-cut artichokes. Storing artichokes at temperatures as high as 12 ◦C must be avoided, since it accelerates senescence in terms of occurrence of reddish hairy tissues, and increases susceptibility to browning. On the contrary, low temperatures, and particularly 0 ◦C are beneficial to delay browning of cut-surfaces, even if for ‘Catanese’ variety it may stimulate the occurrence of browning spots of the bracts surface, most likely because of a higher sensitivity to chilling temperatures. This phenomenon occurred only after 7 days of storage, and since at the end of post-cutting storage differences among samples stored at different temperatures were not detectable, and all samples maintained a score above the limit of marketability, it may be suggested that the use of 0 ◦C only be for a limited time of storage, due to a balance with the benefit observed on cut surfaces. From these results, further studies may be directed to the deeper study of chilling susceptibility of the ‘Catanese’ variety and the identification of the lowest temperature of storage, and also to understand if these physiological problems may be prevented with a combination of cold storage with MAP technology, as would be the case in commercial packaging.
