1)Data at 0 day represent the initial value of green peppers before storage at first day after harvest.
2)Data at 13 represent the value of green peppers stored for 13 days at 20℃.
3)Data at 14+5 represent the value of green peppers stored for 14 days stored at 4℃ followed by 5 days at 5℃.
4)Means with the same uppercase letter in the column or same lowercase letter in the row were not significantly different at p<0.05 with Duncan’s multiple range test.
