ABSTRACT:
A system of preserving fresh produce in a refrigerator displayed for observation and selection by the public, such as in a grocery store. Moisture is applied to the articles, in the form of an extremely fine mist, made up of particles in the range of about 75-150 micron diameter, suspended in air, and slowly falling. The moisture applied to the produce articles is only film-thick so as to minimize flow-off from the articles. Producing the mist includes selectively, hydraulic pressure means, or air pressure means. The mist is controlled by automatic on-off control means and is produced by misting nozzles centrally positioned above the shelf means for supporting various produce articles within the refrigerator display means.
