Abstract

In this paper, effect and magnetic mechanism of pulsed magnetic field for the green leaf vegetable were examined and evaluated by quantifying the color change, respiration, and stomatal aperture of it. As the results, it is shown pulsed magnetic field exposure suppressed the yellowing and respiration of the green leaf vegetable. Furthermore, it is shown that it keeps the freshness of vegetables, since pulsed magnetic field affects the stoma, from the result that respiration rate and stomatal aperture decreased after pulsed magnetic field exposure.
