Precooling, Shipment and Cold Storage of Tender Fruit: With Notes on Packing and Packages (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Precooling, Shipment and Cold Storage of Tender Fruit: With Notes on Packing and PackagesWhile it is known that low temperatures effectively check the ripening process of fruit, and that precooling is of distinct advantage when shipping in refrigerator cars, the problem of precooling for ordinary express shipments is still open for further investigation. Although precooling retards the ripening of fruit, injury is also liable to follow excessive condensation which causes the germination of mould spores and decay when cold fruit is removed from the cooling room to the warm atmosphere of the express car.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
