| Storageperiods(day) | Total phenol(ug GAE1)/g) | Flavonoid(ug QE2)/g) |
| Open pallet | | MAP pallet | Open pallet | | MAP pallet |

1)Total phenolic content was expressed as μg/g gallic acid equivalent.
2)Total flavonoid content was expressed μg/g quercetin equivalent.
3)The values represent mean±SD for triplicate experiments. Means with same letters within a column are not significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan’s multiple range test.
