Abstract: On the bases of low temperature and high relative humidity storage, different treatments to improve torability of asparagus were compared. The effects to maintain better chlorophyll content, weight loss inhibition, and spear feathering and lignification were studied. The results showed that: the atmosphere kept at 10% O2, 5% CO2, the shelf life of asparagus is obviously prolonged with ethylene sorbent and lipoxygenase inhibitor.

Key words: asparagus, storage, controlled atmosphere, inhibitor of Lipoxygenase
