Notes:
Southern pea quality is judged commercially according to USDA grading standards. The presence of green color determines USDA grades of Southern peas. Since USDA testing procedures are subjective in nature and the objective of this investigation was to provide commercial Southern pea processors a practical means of preserving pea color, it was determined that measurements should be made subjectively to give validity to the results. This study shows that Grade A peas can be maintained by hydrocooling and holding them under refrigeration subsequent to the harvesting and shelling operations.
