The objective of this research work was to evaluate the effect of hydrothermal treatment temperatures on the postharvest life of broccoli florets cv Avenger under refrigeration conditions, using the hot water immersion method. First, a preselection was carried out, then a minimum processing of the plant material by cutting the pellets to florets and immediately afterwards the following flow of operations was carried out: selection, classification, washing-disinfection, application of hydrothermal treatment at 3 hot water temperatures (47 °,52° and 57°C), precooling, forced air drying and refrigeration at 3-5°C and 68% ±5 Relative Humidity. The treatments were evaluated at day 1, 8, 14, 18 and 25 days of refrigeration, as well as at 4 days for the dimension variable (diameter and length). The results obtained for the weight loss variable (%) recorded that the treatment at 47°C (T1) maintained the lowest weight loss on all evaluation dates. The hydrothermal treatment had an effect on the green color indicator -a* on day 8 of refrigeration, but not on the yellow color indicator +b*, since it did not show significant differences between treatments, in turn these results can be translated as evidence of the thermal effect on chlorophyll degradation. In relation to the results of the variable respiration intensity (rate of CO2 produced), a behavior curve was observed throughout the refrigeration time where the decline was after 18 days in all treatments. Furthermore, the thermal stress and processing to which the florets were subjected caused a high respiration rate greater than 155.1 mLCO2/Kg*h. In general, the treatment at 47°C obtained a smaller decrease in floret diameter, a smaller weight loss and a smaller decrease in the tone angle (h°) of the color.
