Slowing The Rotting Process |
|
|
|
It has been found that there are ways to slow the rotting process of fruit. One such way is through hydrcooling. Hydrocooling removes the field heat from the fruit by cooling it to 40 degrees F and reducing the fruit rotting organisms by using chlorine. These two effects improve the shelf life of fruit. For hydrocooling to work the pH levels of the water and the chlorine levels must be exact. Another way to slow the rotting process is to store the fruit in cool temperatures and cycle the air through charcoal filters to absorb ethylene. This works ecpecially well with apples. |
