During storage and transportation, the quality of citrus storage and transportation is closely related to the surrounding environmental conditions, mainly temperature, humidity and gas composition.
1, temperature.
Humidity is important for citrus storage. Storage of citrus at a suitable temperature can obtain the best preservation effect; if the temperature is too high, it will accelerate the aging of the fruit and cause a lot of rot; if the temperature is too low, the fruit will be chilled and brown spot disease and edema disease will occur. There are many types and varieties of citrus, and the temperatures required during storage are also quite different.
2, humidity.
Humidity is also an important condition for citrus storage. Low humidity and high humidity are the main causes of cold damage, while high temperature and low humidity are the main causes of dry water disease. The gas components in the storage environment, especially the concentration of carbon dioxide, are too high, and the humidity is too large, and brown spot disease may occur.
3, gas composition
Citrus is very sensitive to low oxygen and high carbon dioxide concentrations during storage and transportation, so it is not suitable for gas storage. Oranges in citrus are resistant to 2% carbon dioxide, but they are not well controlled and can cause carbon dioxide damage. Therefore, during citrus storage, attention should be paid to ventilation to remove excess carbon dioxide gas. Citrus can't be mixed with apples and pears to prevent excessive carbon dioxide from apples and pears, causing damage to citrus.
