| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to propose a prediction model for internal quality variation of fresh produce and to develop the database systems for quality deterioration of fresh produce. To verify the model, the respiration rate of chrysanthemum, broccoli and green beans were measured at several temperatures, oxygen concentrations and carbon dioxide concentrations with time. It was revealed that a prediction model considering the temperature and the time can be applied for the chrysanthemum and green beans, and that a model considering the above three factors can be applied to the broccoli.
