Background Precooling is a critical step in the postharvest cold chain. Studies of the
precooling of fruit and vegetables are based on the strong interactions between modelling …

Optimizing the design of fresh produce packaging is vital for ensuring that future food cold
chains are more energy efficient and for improving produce quality by avoiding chilling …

Preservation of horticultural produce is vital for quality products to be delivered to customers
long after harvest. Product qualities are maintained when field heat is removed. Prompt …

Humidification during long-term cooled storage of fruits is being introduced into practice to
prevent excessive moisture loss and quality degradation. High pressure fogging is one of …

Well planned natural ventilation strategies and systems in the built environments may
provide healthy and comfortable indoor conditions, while contributing to a significant …

In this paper transient heat transfer in a solar food drier is modeled by using both
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and lumped capacitance modeling techniques. The …

Experimental analysis of flow Distribution inside a cold storage is a costly affair, thus many
researchers are intensively using computational techniques. In designing of various air …

The flow phenomenon during cooling and handling of packed table grapes was studied
using a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model and validated using experimental results …

The weight loss and spoilage of post-harvest fruits and vegetables (FVS) occur as a result of
physiological and biological processes, the rates of which are influenced primarily by …

Humidification of chicory root cold stores helps in maintaining the quality and extending the
postharvest storage time of chicory roots. Low evaporation rate of the sprayed droplets at …
