 ABSTRACT

Sprouting broccoli is most of the important winter vegetables in India which belongs to family Brassicaceae (Cruciferae).  It is herbaceous annual vegetable grown for its green tender curd and biennial for seed production.  Broccoli is more resembling with cauliflower.  United states of America is the largest producer broccoli in the world.  Apart from U.S.A the other major producers of the crop are Italy, Northern Europe and cooler regions in their for East.  In recent year, cultivation of broccoli has gained momentum in India. It has three types of head colour viz. green white and purple out of which green type is highly nutritious. It cultivated mainly in protected structure and produce best quality of fruits. In sub-tropic region strawberry require 20°-25° temperature maximum in day time. The edible part of broccoli contains 5.7% carbohydrate, 3.6% protein, 0.35% fat 1.4% fiber, 3150 IU vitamin A and 104 mg vitamin C. The curd diameter performance significant result when subjected to different treatment of biofertilizers. Despite these findings it should be possible to automate the processing of broccoli in order to increase the quality of bioactive compounds. The effect of processing on selenium compounds has so far been poorly studied and this subject should therefore be looked into in the future. Lastly, the influence of the operating conditions on the quality of bioactive compounds in broccoli in various drying processes should be studied in greater depth.
