Summary

A THEORETICAL INVESTIGATION IS MADE OF THE DECREASE OF THE RALATIVE HUMIDITY OF AIR IN FRUIT, VEGETABLE AND POTATO COLD STORE ROOMS AS A RESULT OF THE WATER-ABSORBING CAPACITY OF THE WOODEN PACKAGING MATERIALS. THE QUANTITY OF WATER VAPOUR ABSORBED BY THE WOOD REQUIRES ADEQUATE COUNTER MEASURES TO BE TAKEN. IT IS PROPOSED FOR THE COLD HANDLING OF HIGH-BREATHING SPECIES OF FRUIT (EG GRAPES) TO SOAK WOODEN PACKAGING MATERIALS IN WATER PRIOR TO USAGE TO MAINTAIN THE WATER CONTENT OF THE WOOD AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE.
