Abstract
This study was conducted to compare the storability of some sprout vegetables; alfalfa, broccoli, radish, red-cabbage, and red-radish, packed with 50 low density polyethylene (LDPE) film in MA storage. Most of all 5 different sprout vegetable crops maintained the fresh weight higher than 99% until 10 days storage at 2 and $8^{\circ}C$. The carbon dioxide concentration in packages was higher at 8 than at $2^{\circ}C$. It was higher in radish and red-radish sprouts than other crops. As the oxygen concentration showed opposite trends to carbon dioxide, that of radish and red-radish sprouts decreased more than 3% after 3 days in 8 storage. Ethylene concentration in the packages of alfalfa was 0.1 ppm, significantly higher than other four crops with less than 1.0 ppm. Temperature treatment, however, did not influence the ethylene concentration in packages. The radish and red-radish sprouts, with lowest oxygen concentration in package, showed lowest off-flavor compared to the others. The visual quality of these sprouts in packages showed higher at $2^{\circ}C\;than\;at\;8^{\circ}C$ and was maintained the highest in radish sprouts, followed by red-radish, broccoli, red-cabbage, and alfalfa sprouts in that order. In conclusion, as the sprout vegetables have different shelf-life, of which radish was $4{\sim}5$ days longer than that of alfalfa the distributed condition of sprout vegetables should be differently controlled according to kinds of crops.
