Temperature management is important throughout the period between harvest and consumption in order to maintain good product quality. Cooling practices provide marketing flexibility by making it possible to market
produce at the optimum time and over longer distances.
The duration of cooling and pre-cooling depends on the temperature. The storage life of citrus fruits is highly variable and related to the respiration rate; there is an inverse relationship between respiration rate and storage
life in citrus fruits.
Citrus fruits can be stored at 5-9°C.
