Abstract:This paper discusses the relationships between storage environments, respiration rate and storage life using sweet cherries as a case study. Cherries are a highly perishable crop and good temperature control is vital to maximise retention of quality and ensure adequate storage life. Slow or delayed cooling and temperature abuse during transport or marketing will all accelerate deterioration, increasing the risk of losses through poor product appearance or rots. Using data drawn from the literature and experime… Show more
