Summary

Effects of precooling and packaging on maintaining freshness in cut flowers were studied under shipping conditions. Rapid precooling after harvest was important for cut flowers, but the cooling rate of cut flowers packaged in plastic film was very slow. The relationship between vent size, air flow and static pressure, and between stack width, air flow and cooling time or static pressure, were investigated for cut flowers packaged in cardboard boxes.
