Abstrakt: The carotene content of dehydrated spinach, broccoli and carrots was well preserved under storage at room temperature for 3 months by sealing in cardboard receptacles and adjusting the total water content to 10–12%. In the case of carrots and broccoli with the total water content of 12.5% some internal gas pressure developed. With 8–10% of total water no internal gas pressure developed but the carotene loss was greater than at the higher water level.
