About this document
Vertical Air Pre-Cooling for Oranges by Atef Elansari is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses vertical forced air pre-cooling of orange fruits in bins. It investigates the effect of fruit size, air direction (vertical forced vs vertical induced), and air velocity on weight loss and electrolyte leakage of oranges. The cooling time for different treatments ranged from 217 to 76 minutes. Forced air pre-cooling with the highest air velocity of 1 m/s resulted in the shortest cooling time, regardless of fruit size.
