Dangler for Accelerated Dehydration: A Novel System for Assessing the Impacts of Relative Humidity on Fruit Water Loss During Cold Storage of Blueberries by Claudia Moggia, Daniel Sepúlveda, Marcelo Valdés, Carlos M. Araya, Paula Pacheco, Vanessa Diaz, Gustavo A. Lobos, Randolph Beaudry, Javier Lorca-Alvarez

“…Therefore, one of the great challenges is maintaining the quality characteristics of the fruit in shipments by sea, which can take up to 60 days when sent from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. The random arrangement of each fruit within a packaging unit (different proportions of the stem scar and cuticular surface exposed to the environment) represents an essential source of variation in the prediction of softening during the storage period. …”
