Background

This application study presents a simple puncture method for testing leafy greens. Adult spinach, romaine lettuce, and red leaf lettuce and were tested fresh, after 24 hours, and again after 72 hours. The leaves were mounted in the TA-108S-5i Indexible Film Rig and punctured with the TA-52 2.0 mm Puncture Probe. Five replicate tests were performed on each sample set at each time period. A new leaf was tested for each replicate.
