EFFECT OF PRECOOLING AND COLD STORAGE ON THE QUALITY OF FOUR DIFFERENT APRICOT VARIETIES.

Author(s) : PALA M., SAYGI Y. B.

Summary

APRICOT SAMPLES WITH HYDROCOOLING AND WITHOUT PRECOOLING WERE STORED IN POLYETHYLENE BAGS AND ALSO IN UNPACKED FORM. AN EXPERIMENTAL PROTOTYPE APPARATUS FOR HYDROCOOLING WAS USED FOR OUR EXPERIMENTS. THE FLOW RATE AND TEMPERATURE (INPUT AND OUTPUT) OF THE COOLING MEDIUM, AS WELL AS THE TEMPERATURE CHANGES OF APRICOTS WERE MEASURED. ACCORDING TO THE AUTHOR'S DATA, HALF COOLING TIME OF VARIETIES, DIMENSIONLESS TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCES AND BIOT AND FOURIER NUMBERS WERE CALCULATED. THE VARIETIES WERE FOUND TO PRESERVE THEIR QUALITY BETTER WHEN STORED FOLLOWING PRECOOLING AND PACKED IN POLYETHYLENE BAGS.
