Studies on the Handling Technology of Tuberose Cut Flower Spike (Pollanthes tuberosa L.)

Abstract

本試驗主要探討包裝方式對重瓣夜來香切花貯運壽命之影響，及預措處理方式對模擬海運和空運外銷之可行性。夜來香切花以EVA伸縮膜包裝，能極有效的減少切花之失水和維持鮮度，但是對維持瓶插壽命效果不大。切花於下午採收，經100ppm BA噴佈處理後，再以蔗糖溶液預措12小時之後，以EVA伸縮膜包裝，置於添加乙烯吸收劑之紙箱內，經模擬空運（25℃，2天）或海運（5℃，7天）後均能維持甚佳之品質和瓶插壽命。 Effects of wrapping method on the vase life of tuberose cut flower spikes and pulse treatment on the probability of simulated transport by ship or by air were studied. Tuberose cut flower spikes wrapped with EVA film significantly decreased water loss and preserved freshness. However it was not effective on prolonging the vase life. Tuberose cut flowers picked in the afternoon, sprayed with 100 ppm BA, then pulse treated with 2 % sucrose solution for 12 hrs. Thereafter they were wrapped with EVA film, and then packed in a carton box with ethylene absorbent . The flowers had good quality and long vase life after simulated transportation by air(25℃, 2 days) or by ship (5℃, 7days)
