Changes in dynamics of parsley’s physiological weight during storage have been studied. It has been specified that the level of physiological weight loss in parsley strongly depends both on the rainfall (r =0.78…0.99) and hydrothermic coefficients during the growth period (r =0,87…0,93). Physiological weight loss inversely correlates with the sum of active temperatures (r = -0,76…-0,91).
Weight losses of parsley harvested in spring are by 2,8 % higher than of the one harvested in autumn. Visible shriveling of parsley is observed when it loses about 15 % of its weight. Storage technique based on usage of the nutrient solution containing agrarian hydrogel and antioxidants enables to reduce weight losses of parsley during storage in 4 times and extend its shelf-life up to 60-100 days.
