Testing and design of a passive container for the optimisation of highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cold chain

The aim of this work is to test a passive cooling system (PCS) on highbush blueberry (<em>Vaccinium corymbosum</em> L.) to verify cooling performances soon after harvest. Based on experimental results the cooling trend was modelled and a dedicated system was designed for the optimisation...
