Hydro-cooling
• Hydro-cooling provides fast, uniform
cooling for some commodities.
• The commodity as well its packaging
materials must be tolerant of wetting,
chlorine (used to sanitize the hydrocooling
water) and water beating
damage (Mitchell in Kader, 1992).
• The simplest version of a hydrocooler
is a tank of cold water in which
produce is immersed.
