In many areas of the world, the sap levels in harvested bamboo are reduced either through leaching or postharvest photosynthesis.
In Togo, Stabrawa (1991) assessed postharvest weight losses of 5% after one month of storage and 15% after three months of storage due to insect infestation, and Compton (1991) assessed weight losses of about 9% for each store in the survey area in Togo.
There are several physiological disorders that can affect the postharvest appearance of cabbage.
