Electrolyte leakage of tissue discs from wounded (cut edge and bruised sites) and non-wounded areas in lettuce fresh-cuts, stored at 4 °C Presented values are means ± SEM _(n–1), (n = 9). At each time point, samples (15 leaf discs) were randomly taken from fresh-cuts from 3 boxes in three independent experiments with fresh-cuts prepared from 5 lettuce heads. Data indicated with same letters do not differ significantly from each other at P ≤ 0.05
