Effect of Superchilling on Preservation, Ripening and Senescence of Broad Bean Seeds by LI Die, LI Haiyan, ZHONG Shihong, FU Yuansheng, LI Meiqing, ZHANG Haiwei

“…Three superchilling temperatures (−2, −3 and −4 ℃) were determined based on the freezing point of broad bean seeds. The effects of superchilling storage at each temperature on the sensory quality, chlorophyll content, color difference values and other quality indexes of broad bean seeds were analyzed using chilled storage (4 ℃) as a control, and then the effects of superchilling storage on the ripening and senescence of broad bean seeds were studied by determining the activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD) and phenylalamine ammonia lyase (PAL), total phenol content, soluble protein content and the cell structure. …”
