Quality changes of sweet corn cultivars during cold storage.

An experiment was conducted in Turkey during 1999 on sweetcorn cultivars Merit, Reward, Jubilee and Bonanza to determine the changes in quality during cold storage. All the cultivars decreased in weight at the early than at the late stages of storage. Merit had the highest (8.22%) and Bonanza had the lowest (6.22%) weight loss. The maximum total sugar was found at harvest in Jubilee (6.69%) and the minimum in Merit (5.97%). After 7 weeks of cold storage at 0 deg C, the maximum sugar content was observed in Reward (5.16%). Maximum starch content and decline were observed in Bonanza. The carotene content of Reward and Bonanza decreased reaching levels of 7.8 and 15.1%, respectively. Total soluble solids was maximum in Bonanza and minimal in Merit, while maximum loss was found in Reward.
