Résumé

Pre-cooling is a vital process for the horticultural cool chain, reducing produce to storage temperature quickly and efficiently. Capturing the ‘true’ temporal and spatial cooling rates in pre-coolers is prohibitively expensive in terms of time and resources due to their large size, resulting in a worrying trend where small sample sizes are taken as representative of the entire process; and no experimental repetitions eliminates information on the bounds of experimental uncertainty. This study starts to address these concerns by repeating a large scale experimental pre-cooling set up five times – pallets of polylined Hayward kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) cooled in laboratory conditions, with a large number of temperature probes. Variability between trials for an entire pallet was ±16%, and variability of observed HCT on an individual box scale was ±21%. A substantial portion of this variability (7%) could be attributed solely to a ±0.5 °C error in thermocouple accuracy.
