Type of article: Article
Summary
EARLY DEVELOPMENTS IN COOL STORAGE OF KIWIFRUIT ARE DESCRIBED AND PROBLEMS WITH IN STORE COOLING SUCH AS REDUCED SHELF LIFE ARE DISCUSSED. DELAYS IN PRECOOLING OF 1 HOUR ARE SAID TO REDUCE SHELF LIFE BY 10 HOURS. CONSEQUENTLY A 7 TO 10 DAY COOLING PERIOD IN STORE WOULD REDUCE THE SHELF LIFE BY 70 TO 100 DAYS. DETAILS OF PRESSURE COOLING SYSTEMS ARE GIVEN WHICH REDUCE FRUIT TEMPERATURES FROM 294 TO 283.5 K (21 TO 10.5 DEG C) IN 3 1/4 HOURS, AND TO 273 K (0 DEG C) IN 10 HOURS. G.R.S.
