Post-Harvest Challenges in Floriculture
Accelerated metabolic processes leading to energy depletion.
Loss of moisture causing wilting and reduced turgidity.
Exposure to ethylene gas hastening senescence.
Increased risk of diseases affecting vase life.
Critical Control Points in the Floral Cold Chain
1. Immediate Pre-Cooling
Utilizes high-pressure airflow (up to 300 Pa) to uniformly cool packed flowers.
Reduces atmospheric pressure to facilitate rapid evaporation and cooling.
Achieve 1–3°C within 30–60 minutes post-harvest.floraldaily.com.
Critical Control Points in the Floral Cold Chain
2. Temperature-Controlled Storage
High R-value materials to maintain consistent internal temperatures.
Maintaining 90–95% relative humidity to prevent desiccation.
Ensuring uniform air distribution to avoid temperature gradients.
Continuous data logging of temperature and humidity parameters for quality assurance.
Critical Control Points in the Floral Cold Chain
3. Refrigerated Transportation
Ensuring transport units are at optimal temperature before loading.
Utilizing GPS and temperature sensors to track conditions during transit.
Employing insulated and ventilated packaging to maintain temperature and prevent mechanical damage.
