10 Ton Frozen Food Refrigerated Trucks
A refrigerated truck is a closed box transporter for transporting frozen or fresh cargo, a refrigerated transport unit equipped with a refrigeration unit and a refrigerated transport vehicle for polyurethane insulation. The 10 ton refrigerated truck is commonly used for transporting frozen foods (refrigerated vehicles) and dairy products(milk transport vehicles), fruits and vegetables (fresh ...

Ethylene removal by chemisorption. Postharvest technology for kiwi
Abstract Iran ranks seventh in the world for kiwi production, with over 3200 MT produced in 2012. Kiwifruit can be stored for over 6 months under appropriate conditions, but fruit softening and fruit rots (Botrytis cinerea) can cause severe losses during cold storage, transit, distribution and retail. Kiwifruit is a climacteric fruit very sensitive even at very low concentrations of ethylene ...

Correct management of ethylene levels could minimise or eliminate the need for refrigeration during the distribution chain of green bananas
A recently published scientific article (Reduction of energy usage during storage and transport of bananas by management of exogenous ethylene levels, Wills et al; Postharvest Biology and Technology 89 (2014) 7-10) quantifies the relationship between the concentration of ethylene, temperature and green life of the Cavendish banana. The results demonstrate that an efficient reduction in ethylene ...

Study of visual, sensorial and physicochemical characteristics of Tommy Atkins mangoes submitted to ionising radiation as a method of postharvest conservation
With the objective of evaluating the effect of ionising radiation on the main characteristics of postharvest quality of mangoes (Mangifera indica L), fruit of Tommy Atkins cultivar have been irradiated with gamma rays from a cobalt-60 source. Doses of 200, 400 and 600 Gy were applied, and non-irradiated fruit served as control. After being stored for 15 days at 11.5?C, to simulate transport ...

Benefits of Ethylene Removal in the Conservation of Peaches and Nectarines.
A recently-published scientific article has shown the benefits of ethylene removal with Bioconservacion technology for the quality and shelf life of peaches and nectarines. The main causes of post-harvest losses of peaches and nectarines include metabolic changes, reduced firmness of the flesh, mechanical damage and physiological disorders (internal browning). Peaches and nectarines are ...

Sachets ETHYL STOPPER, green alternative to SO2 use in organic grapes
The grape is a non-climacteric fruit which is highly sensitive to fungal infections, especially Botrytis cinerea. The most common treatment currently available to prevent these infections and maintain fruit quality is to fumigate with SO2 and use metabisulphite. Whilst these treatments are effective, they present a number of inconveniences: Development of stains and decolouring of fruit. ...

BION Fungi Stop to control the growth of fungi in non-climacteric fruit
Bioconservacion presents a new product developed specifically for postharvest non-climacteric fruit preservation, especially citrus fruits and pineapple. The results of a recent survey carried out by the University of Costa Rica show that the BION Fungi Stop contributes to controlling the proliferation of fungi and bacteria in non-climacteric fruit (including pineapple and citrus fruits) by ...

Vibration of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
During Refrigerated Truck TransportSummary: In transportation tests with fresh fruits and vegetables, refrigerated trailers equipped with steel - spring suspension systems had highest Power Spectral Density levels at about 3.5 Hz. Other frequencies with high PSD levels were 9, 18, and 25. However, in trailers equipped with an air-ride suspension system, the PSD levels were attenuated at 3.5 Hz ...

Creating Gaseous Micro Environments for Packaged Produce to Maintain the Quality of Fresh Fruits and Vegetables
Often we are unaware of the long and arduous journey food takes before reaching our plate. Retaining food freshness is in part due to creating gaseous micro environments that ensure the preservation of food quality. In the United States, it is estimated that food typically travels between 1500 and 2500 miles1 between the farms where it is produced and the dinner table where it is ultimately ...

Composting in the Subarctic – Materials
Determining and sourcing organic materials for Composting Along with having the right composter for the task, the Fort Albany First Nation (FAFN) community needed to determine what organic materials would be added to the Actium Batch Compost Drum and where we could obtain these materials. There are two types of organic materials we wanted to hot compost – “greens” (C:N 30). ...

From Farm to Market: Fruit Ripening
Fruit has a brief window where it is perfectly ripe. If farmers waited until every piece of fruit was ripe before harvesting, farming would be more labor-intensive as farmers rushed to pick ripe fruits. Prices might crash due to a short-term glut of fruit on the market. To ensure a steady supply and demand, keep prices competitive, and reduce food waste, farmers use artificial ripening ...
