Effects of boiling on dietary components in fresh and stored white cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. cap).

Abstract
The effects of boiling (10 min) and how differences in cultivars (n = 6), maturity (n = 2), and storage

(n = 3) may affect dietary fiber in white cabbage were studied. A great variation in total dietary fiber content

between boiled cabbage samples was seen (17.7 to 31.7 g/100 g dry weight basis). Total and insoluble dietary

fiber following boiling could be predicted from the initial amount. Average losses for early and late cultivars were

similar (about 10%) and were mainly due to insoluble polymers consisting of glucose and partly of uronic acids.

The early cultivar ‘Balbro’ was least affected by heat treatment: only 2% total dietary fiber was lost. Harvesting

before physiological maturity and short-term storage increased the loss of soluble polymers (pectic substances),

whereas long-term storage decreased the loss. (Less)
