Scutellaria baicalensis and Saussurea lappa were effective in reducing browning of potato slices

Surface browning caused by cutting and other wound during minimal processing is very important quality criterion to consumers. This study was carried out to develop? the natural antibrowning agents of fruits and vegetables. The medicine plants such as Scutellaria baicalensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Saussurea lappa and ascorbic acid were used as antibrowning agents. Scutellaria baicalensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Saussurea lappa were extracted with distilled water and 80% EtOH at 60 for 6 hours in 3 times. Potatoes were purchased from a local market in Seoul, Korea. Potatoes were cut into 10 mm thick slices with a sharp ceramic knife. The prepared peeled potato slices were dipped for 1 min in various antibrowning treatment solutions (0.1% extractions of Scutellaria baicalensis, Salvia miltiorrhiza andSaussurea lappa and 0.1% ascorbic acid). The 0.1% extractions of Scutellaria baicalensis and Saussurea lappa were effective in reducing browning of potato slices as a natural substance. The appearance of sliced potatoes dipped in ascorbic acid was better than dipped in extractions of Salvia miltiorrhiza. These agents could be expected to inhibit browning and extend the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables.SourcesEFFECTS OF PLANTS EXTRACT APPLICATION ON ANTIBROWNING OF POTATO SLICESChang, MS1, Park, MJ1, Kim, GH1ghkim@duksung.ac.kr1DukSung Women?s University, Seoul, KoreaIHC 2014, International Horticulture Congress, 17-22 August 2014, Brisbane,http://www.ihc2014.org/Pictures, Scutellaria baicalensis by commons.wikimedia.org Key wordsPatata?? ??? ?potato?? ?Perske?? ?????????? ????? ?terpomo?? ?pomme de terre?? ????????? ?????? ?aardappel?? ??? ?ziemniak Poscosecha?? ?postcosecha?? ?postharvest?? ?na-oes?? ??? ??? ???????? ????? ??? ?post-r?colte?? ????? ?? ??????????? ??? ?na-oogst?? ?post-raccolta?? ?Obr?bka po?? ?p?s-colheita?? ????????????????? ?hasat sonras??? ??? ?Ernte?? ????????????????? ????? ????????????? ?postcollita?? ?poskliz?ov頠 ????? ??? ??? ??? ?nakon branja?? ?pozberov頠 ??? ?obdelovanje zemlje po?? ?post-colleita?? ?????? ??????? ?pascapanen?? ??il?onn postharvest?? ??????? ?p?c ra?as?? ?derliaus apdirbimas po?? ?lepas tuai?? ??? ?? ???????? ?post-recoltare?? ??????? ??????? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ?????????????????? ?sau thu ho?ch?? ?????????????????? ?zangemva kwenkathi yokuvuna?? ????
