The deterioration and consequently the shelf life of fruits and vegetables starts from the time they are harvested from the plant. The rate of the deteriorative reactions is dependent on intrinsic (compositional) and extrinsic (environmental) factors around the fruits and vegetables. The intrinsic factors are influenced by the cultivation, soil parameters and the practices adopted in their growing in open field or under protected cultivation. Among the extrinsic factors, the most important are temperature, relative humidity, composition of atmosphere, light intensity, water activity etc. The extrinsic factors can be controlled by providing controlled conditions in transportation and subsequent storage in cold storage. This book consists of four major parts. First part deals with post harvest physiology pre-cooling fruits and vegetables, handling and storage and various precooling methods of fruits and vegetables. Second part deals with fundamentals of air conditioning processes, load calculation, design of air conditioning equipment for cold storages including spray pond and fans. The transportation of fruits and vegetables and instrumentation and control systems for cold storage. Third part deals with Controlled Atmosphere Storages (CAS). Unsteady state mass balances for equilibrium conditions in CAS, equipment for generation of different gas regiemes and design of CAS structures. Fourth part deals with Modified atmospheric Packaging (MAP), MAP packaging materials, deteriorative reactions reaction kinetic and shelf life of packaged foods. This book brings all the important aspects of cold storages and cont.…
