Evaluation and Comparison of Postharvest Cooling Methods on the Microbial Quality and Storage of Florida Peaches

Evaluation and Comparison of Postharvest Cooling Methods on the Microbial Quality and Storage of Florida Peaches

Florida peaches (Prunus persica) typically are picked and placed in a cold room on the day of harvest, then packed and shipped the next day. This room cooling (RC) is slow, requiring ≈24 hours or more for the fruit to reach optimal temperature (6 to 7 °C). There is currently limited research on the...
