Suitability for processing — celery stalks

Apium graveolens L. var. dulce (Mill.) Pers.

There are no standardized evaluation scales for the processing suitability of celery stalks. The quality of the raw material is determined by its morphological tenderness, the absence of coarse fibers, and its biochemical composition when producing functional foods.

In the reference 20 varieties crop Celery, where this is mentioned in the description.

In the industrial assessment of celery stalks, the primary technological requirement is the absence of coarse fibers in the stem structure. The presence of significant fibrousness is a critical rejection criterion that limits the use of the raw material for the production of semi-finished products.

When processing celery into juices or extracts, suitability is determined by the content of biologically active substances, including antioxidants, chlorophyll, and phenolic compounds, as well as the profile of volatile components. These indicators depend on varietal characteristics and growing conditions.
