Suitability study for super sweet corn on the ears hybrids under refrigerated conditions, evaluating chemicals micro biologicals and sensorials characteristics

Krispy King Victor and 324, super sweet hybrids (sh2) were cultivated in Sa n Joaquin, estado Carabobo, Venezuela, The scheme was stablished to produce refrigerated fresh cars to be commercialized. The chemistry, microbiology and sensorial characteristics were evaluated at 0; 7; 14; 21 and 28 days of storage, One hundred cars of each hybrid were picked at the ripe fresh sta ge and packed in polystyrene trays covered with polyethylene, The storage t emperature was 4 degreesC 1 degreesC. The scheme used was well adapted, all owing a good stability of the cars until 28 days of storing. The plastic co ver avoid the lost of humidity. The soluble solids, total sugars and pH wen t down during the storage. The acidity and the microorganisms increased as expected. The sensorial variables kept the same for Krispy king and Victor, while the hybrid 324 shown the lowest humidity content, the highest count of microorganisms and the poorest sensorial quality.
