4. Storage
The management of temperature and relative humidity are the most important factors determining storage life of horticultural produce. The natural means like ice, cold water, night temperature have been used for long time for protecting food materials from spoilage and these are still common. However, with the development of innovative technologies, it is possible to achieve optimal environments in the insulated stores.
Objective of storage:
Regulate the market in an orderly manner.
Avoid glut and distress sale in the market, thus prolonging the market period.
In long-term storage, making the food available in off-season.
Lowering the temperature to the lowest safe handling temperature is of paramount importance for enhancing the shelf life, reducing the losses and maintaining higher quality during marketing. Always, handle produce gently and never store produce unless, it is of the best quality. Damaged produce will lose water faster and have higher decay rates in storage when compared to undamaged produce.
