The effects of gibberellic acid (150 and 300 mg/L) and calcium chloride (40 g/L) on chlorophylls a and b, carotenoids,total phenolic compounds, colour and physiological weight losses of white cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) duringstorage at 10 ± 1 °C were investigated. Results showed that chlorophyll a and total phenolic compounds decreased in allsamples and no significant difference was noted between treated heads and control.
