THE ELEMENTS OF THE STORAGE AND DISTRIBUTION CHAIN NOTABLY REMOVAL OF FIELD HEAT, REFRIGERATED STORAGE AND TRANSPORT, TEMPERATURE MONITORING AND PACKAGING ARE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL. COOLING SYSTEMS SUCH AS HYDROCOOLING, VACUUM COOLING AND POSITIVE VENTILATION ARE CONSIDERED TOGETHER WITH THEIR ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES. RECOMMENDED STORAGE TEMPERATURES ARE TABULATED FOR A WIDE RANGE OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES INCLUDING THOSE WHICH ARE CHILL SENSITIVE.
