Chilling Sensitivity

Storing everything in the refrigerator might not be the right way to maximize some fruits & vegetables shelf life. While storing commodities at lower temperature is a great way to retard microbial growth and prolong shelf life, some fruits & vegetables are chilling sensitive.

To prevent chilling injury, these fruits/vegetables should not be stored at the range of temperature or below whereby the chance of chilling injury will be increased.
