|---|---|
| Example of Litchis |  |
| Freshness facts | |
| Optimum carrying temperature | 2°C |
| Highest freezing point | - |
| Acceptable product temp. at loading into containers | Max. 2°C above carrying temperature |
| Optimum humidity | 90%-95% |
| Ventilation setting for containers | 10 m³/hr |
| Storage life | 4-6 weeks |
| Climacteric / non-climacteric | Non-climacteric |
| Ethylene production | Medium |
| Ethylene sensitivity | Medium |
| Modified / controlled atmosphere | 3%-5% CO2; 3%-5% O2 |
| Potential benefits | Low O2 can reduce skin browning and polyphenoloxidase activity. Elevated CO2 slows the loss of ascorbic acid, acidity and soluble solids |
