Other claims from this paper (9)
- Method / resource The evaporative cooler had 27.96% higher relative humidity than ambient storage.
- Method / resource The evaporative cooler temperature was 0.41 °C lower than ambient.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling reduced weight loss and shriveling.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling improved visual quality.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling delayed color development.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling extended acceptable quality by three days versus ambient storage.
- Intervention effect Hot water alone did not significantly maintain pepper quality.
- Observation Total soluble solids were affected only nine days after treatment.
- Recommendation Authors recommend improving cooler design to prevent surface moisture and reduce decay.
