IN STORE TEMPERATURE, WATER LOSS AND HUMIDITY MANAGEMENT
IMPORTANCE OF STORAGE
maintain quality for longer period until consumption
assist efficient marketing and distribution
enable for distance transportation by sea shipment
LONGER STORAGE CAN BE ACHIEVE BY :
cold chain
maturity control at harvest
atmosphere modification
post harvest treatment
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF STORAGE
respiration rate
ethylene
transpiration
post harvest disease
physiological disoders
KEY PROCESSES DURING POST HARVEST LIFE
respiration
transpiration
maturity process
ethylene productivities
IMPORTANCE OF TEMPERATURE
rate of deterioration and rate of respiration
faster respiration, shorter life
respiration increase exponentially with T
DURATION OF STORAGE LIFE
natural senescene
growth of decay organism
susceptibility to low to injury
FACTOR FOR LENGTH OF STORAGE PRODUCE
mold growth
chilling injury
