Standards for Apples describe the varying degrees of firmness (or ripeness) of a mature apple: (some ripening may occur while the fruit are still on the tree). Hard means apples with a tenacious flesh and starchy flavor; firm means apples with a tenacious flesh but which are becoming crisp with a slightly starchy flavor, except the Deli cious variety; firm ripe means apples with crisp flesh except that the flesh of the apples of the Gano, Ben Davis, and Rome Beauty varieties may be slightly mealy; ripe means apples with mealy flesh and soon to become soft for the variety; and overripe means apples which are dead ripe, with flesh very mealy or soft, and past commercial utility.

This book was released on 2018-09-13 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handling and Storage of Apples in Pallet Boxes Apple producers and storage and packinghouse operators have shown great interest in pallet boxes in the past 2 years. Pallet boxes are not an innovation for the handling and storage of agricultural products. In 1944, studies were made in Colorado on their use in connection with potatoes. One of the largest early users of pallet boxes is located in Clear Lake, Iowa. This operator's entire crop of potatoes and onions are conditioned, stored, and handled in pallet boxes. Results of studies made there indicate that pallet boxes can reduce labor requirements and invest ment in facilities, and maintain the quality of the product. The pallet box method of handling is rapidly spreading into use in packing and storage houses for other agricultural products.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coordinated Management for Harvesting, Storing, and Marketing Northwest Apples The effectiveness Of a marketing program, for example, depends upon facilities for proper handling and storage as well as upon having fruit of high quality. The cold-storage facilities in turn can be oper ated effectively only when they are planned in conformity with specific conditions Of production, transportation, management, and marketing. A cold-storage plant that gives satisfactory results under one set of circumstances might not be suited at all to others. For this reason the design of a cold-storage plant is not solely a problem of assembling equipment and storing the fruit. The plant design is a part of a plan for controlling the condition of fruit until it is eaten. The other parts of the plan include producing the fruit, harvesting and getting it to storage, packaging it, sorting or segregating, shipping, and dis tributing it for consumption.

Download or read book Harvesting Storing and Packing Apples for the Fresh Market written by Joseph Constantine Podany and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Harvesting, Storing, and Packing Apples for the Fresh Market: Regional Practices and Costs There are five major apple production regions in the United States. In each region, production for the fresh market consists of different proportions of various varieties, grades, and sizes of apples. Harvesting, storing, and packing practices vary according to means of procurement, picking labor used, length of the storage season, type of storage, quantity of apples stored, type of containers packed, terms of sale, types of buyers, and the geographic markets served. The picture is further complicated by differing cost structures for harvesting, storing, packing, and transporting fresh apples to market. Since survival in the fresh apple industry depends on all these factors, each packer and shipper is vitally concerned with the relative efficiency of his operation and with the competitive position of his region. Apple growers are interested in factors that influence their returns be tween the time apples are harvested and the time they are sold. The concern of growers, packers, and shippers was especially evident during the three marketing seasons through which were characterized by high production levels and depressed prices for both fresh apples and apples for processing. The crop, which was the largest on record, exceeded 160 million bushels, including over 88 million bushels marketed for fresh consumption. Consumers are also interested in the costs involved in producing and mar keting apples through to the retail store. Consumers have frequently asked why apples cost more at the retail store than at the orchard. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Storage for Apples and Pears written by Glenn O. Patchen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Storage for Apples and Pears: Marketing Research Report No. 924 The principal fruits requiring refrigeration for extended storage are apples and pears. Grapes also are stored extensively in some places, particularly in California. Refrigeration is used also for the precooling or short-time storage of other fruits, such as cherries, plums, and apricots. Rural electrification and automatic refrigera tion equipment are now universal, and indi vidual fruit growers or small groups of grow ers have been building cold-storage plants at or near their orchards instead of relying on large plants that serve a whole community or a large number of growers. This has been coincident with the development of better handling and packing methods. The handling methods, transportation equipment, and facili ties required for sorting and packing extended the distance that apples can be moved from orchard to the cold-storage house so that pack ing and shipping will not be under the pressure of getting the job done in a matter of a few days after picking. Having refrigeration facili ties at hand has permitted the orchardist to give his fruit optimum protection while it is awaiting packing and to employ a compara tively small crew of skilled harvesters instead of having to mobilize large crews. This has prevented fruit from wasting and allowed it to be handled economically in large volume. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Report on Some Trial Shipments of Cold Storage Apples Classic Reprint written by J. A. Ruddick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Report on Some Trial Shipments of Cold Storage Apples To these figures must be added the very large quantity which is stored in cellars 'and odd places all over the country. It is the practice to repack practically the whole of this large quantity of apples, at very considerable expense. This refers principally to the apples stored in the special warehouses. The repacking may be necessary under these conditions of storage, in order that the rotten and defective apples may be discarded, but it results in serious damage to the sound fruit by increasing the number of bruises, to which the apples are more liable than they are at harvest time, on account of their riper and softer condition. These repacked apples are sent forward to market during the winter and early spring months. It is an undeniable fact that a large proportion of them are in a more or less overripened and damaged condition. The shrinkage which occurs in repacking is a direct loss, amounting, on the whole, to a very large sum. The indirect loss from the demoralizing effect of a large quantity of overripe and damaged fruit on the market is also great, and difficult to estimate. As the crop of apples is increasing from year to year, and the industry is growing in importance by the opening of a large market in the prairie provinces in addition to the well sustained demand in Great Britain and continental countries, it is obvious that any means which may be adopted for better preservation and to reduce the waste and cost of repacking should be a matter of interest to the fruit grower and dealer.

Download or read book Fruit and Vegetables 2 Volume Set written by Anthony Keith Thompson and published by Wiley-Blackwell. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Completely revised, updated and enlarged, now encompassing two volumes, this third edition of Fruit and Vegetables reviews and evaluates, in comprehensive detail, postharvest aspects of a very wide international range of fresh fruit and vegetables as it applies to their physiology, quality, technology, harvest maturity determination, harvesting methods, packaging, postharvest treatments, controlled atmosphere storage, ripening and transportation. The new edition of this definitive work, which contains many full colour photographs, and details of species not covered in the previous editions, provides key practical and commercially-oriented information of great use in helping to ensure that fresh fruit and vegetables reach the retailer in optimum condition, with the minimum of deterioration and spoilage. With the constantly increasing experimental work throughout the world the book incorporates salient advances in the context of current work, as well as that dating back over a century, to give options to the reader to choose what is most relevant to their situation and needs. This is important because recommendations in the literature are often conflicting; part of the evaluation of the published results and reviews is to guide the reader to make suitable choices through discussion of the reasons for diverse recommendations. Also included is much more on the nutritional values of fruit and vegetables, and how these may vary and change postharvest. There is also additional information on the origin, domestication and taxonomy of fruit and vegetables, putting recommendations in context. Fruits and Vegetables 3e is essential reading for fruit and vegetable technologists, food scientists and food technologists, agricultural scientists, commercial growers, shippers, packhouse operatives and personnel within packaging companies. Researchers and upper level students in food science, food technology, plant and agricultural sciences will find a great deal of use within this popular book. All libraries in research establishments and universities where these subjects are studied and taught should have copies readily available for users.
