摘要
The influence of storage on the nitrate- and nitrite-N contents of fresh and processed spinach was studied. Under conditions applicable to the consumer, nitrite-N accumulated in some samples of fresh spinach, but not in canned, baby food, or frozen spinach. Nitrite-N accumulated if frozen spinach was allowed to thaw at room temperatures for excessively long periods. Cooking reduced the total nitrate- and nitrite-N contents of the edible portions of fresh spinach by extraction into the cooking water. The nutritional significance is discussed. © 1968, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
