Abstract
This study was carried out to improve quality of minimally processed lettuce with various treatments. The treatments for preventing enzymatic browning were using different chemical immersion solutions and controlling microbial growth were using chlorine, electrolyzed water, and organic acid. The solution with ascorbic acid 1$\%$ and citric acid 1 $\%$ showed a positive effect on antibrowning of minimally processed lettuce. In the inhibition of microorganisms growth, 200 ppm NaCIO solution was more effective than fermented pollen solution and Na-dichloroisocyanurate solution. In electrolyzed water system, no-diaphragm system showed inhibitory effect of microorganisms growth. Also, total microorganisms count of minimally processed lettuce with ascorbic acid and citric acid solution was lower by about 4 log cycle after 4 days storage at l0$^{\circ}C$.
