Abstract
This study investigated the effect of agrichemicals (A) and low-agrichemicals (LA) during cultivation on the quality characteristics of minimally processed lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) during storage at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. After 10 days of storage, the sugar content analysis showed that LA-treated lettuce ($4.57^{\circ}Brix$) was higher than A-treated lettuce ($3.57^{\circ}Brix$). The major minerals were K, P and Na, and mineral contents were high in A-treated lettuce during 0, 5 and 10 days. However, the sample with LA treatment had higher chlorophyll and vitamin C contents compared with A-treated lettuce. The degree of color was more stable in samples kept at LA treatment than those kept at A treatment. The polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of the LA-treated lettuce was 475.90 unit/g, while the A-treated sample had almost 1.5-fold higher activity. The detection of 48 residual pesticides in samples were not detected on storage 0 day.
