ABSTRACT:
Ripening retardation chamber apparatus includes a plenum chamber having a generally open side against which is disposed a pallet full of boxes containing produce. The boxes include openings to allow cooled and moistened air to flow therethrough. An evaporative cooling system is used to provide a flow of cool, moist air into the plenum chamber. The air flow is such as to cause the cooled, moistened air to flow from the plenum chamber through the cartons or boxes of produce. The flow of air causes the heat and ethylene gas produced by the ripening produce to be moved out of the boxes, thus retarding the ripening process. The presence of moisture in the air reduces weight loss of the produce and improves the outer appearance of the produce.
